Lot of cars at the Test and Tune today. Three passes for $50. [Frown] I would of thought they could put down some VHT for test and tune though. Seems like the more I go out to Sac Raceway, the more I appreciate every other track I've raced at.

I'm pretty sure they did put VHT down at the beginning of the day. I'm not sure if they resprayed it later though. I didn't have any traction problems. All of my 60' were in the 1.5 range with a best of 1.52. There was a ton of people out there for a test and tune. It was the first nice saturday of the year. I got 5 runs in. I was in the red '88 with the black hood.

My first 60 ft was my best. I continued to get slower as the day went on. I did arrive late, but talked to some of the other cars that arrived at noon, and they got the same number of passes. I had the white '93 notch.

You had that procharged notch? That car cooks man, but it did seem like you were having trouble getting out the whole... But I went up there with a few different people and they are were hooking fine including one drag bike..

The biggest problem I have is the car is not set up to transfer weight. It is set up to go around corners. I have a car set up for drag racing that is street legal, just not a lot of fun to drive on the street. The mustang is supposed to accelerate, brake, handle, get 20 mpg on the freeway, and have the AC and radio going.
