Default Re: The Hitman returns to the track

Spent Sunday afternoon at a local track with the Hitman. Went several rounds in footbrake, loosing in the semis. The 60' times were down, which were expected, as the track prep there is less then ideal, but was still able to run a couple of 6.79s. That may be it for 2015, cannot wait for next year to see about getting quicker, as I get more seat time, get the suspension setup where it needs to be and the motor loosens up.

I remember the green car being in the 50-60 range earlier this year.

I wish I could say it was me, but I was so-so on the tree, the car being consistent helped.

The Vette has a brake, and I have an extra box, but though not very good at it, I think I will stick to running it in FB, more old school, cable drive tach with no shift light, one of the very early MSD boxes with no provision for rev limiter, etc. Plus I have the Deuce to run in Pro.

It was really cool with all of the thumbs up, nice compliments and lots of &quot;don't restore it&quot;.
