----Now thats getting with the program, Tom! What was the 60 on those two runs as well as the ET? Thats about as high as I ever saw &quot;Red&quot;. Good job!!!.......Bill S </div></div>

Bill, I do not have the slip here, but the 60' was in the mid 1.50 range with ETs in the 6.80 range. I might have done a little better 60' then that, but on narrower tracks, when at the line, I do not stall as high as I would on a track with more room.

BTW, I footbrake, and can not imagine what she would do if I used a transbrake.


When I first got there, several folks came over to see the car, and noticed on the board I had with me a pic of you racing the car, twisting and all. They commented how cool it would be to see that, I told them if the track was prepped any at all, they would get to witness it first hand.

-----Transbrake never worked that well for me, Tom. And,,,I completely understand local conditions. Been there,,,done that, over and over. Are you still working with the engine you have told me about??? Maybe its time to step up the program just a bit, as its obvious you are getting comfortable with the old girl.......Bill S
