Hopefully they don't cancel this weekend but it doesn't look good:( I don't think sunday will be much warmer! If they're open it looks like a good time, I of coarse have to work:doh: But this is Missouri so it could be sunny and 65:laugh:
They say anywhere from 2" to 24".
Go Missouri!
I beleive your car should trap 112-113 sir.
I will be there to witness.

I really have no clue. I am minus the rear seats and spare and jack, thats it, full weight otherwise. I guess actually I have also removed the front swaybar and the air pump.

went to the track tonight and coud only cut a 1.70 60ft. jerry told me to soften the rear up a lil next time out to try and get in the 1.6's. the car has 12.40's in it as it sits. i still need to put the chromoly k member in and do some more cutting http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/yup.gif sonofgto might be selling his 4in ws6 vfn hood so that would aslo help out on weight it he decides to sell it http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/yup.gif car did good imo for the first time out and the season is super young..here is the best pass
60' 1.759
330 5.136
1/8 7.972
mph 86.19
1000 10.433
1/4 12.510
mph 108.39
it was good seeing everyone out too.

IMO: A car should not squat much if at all. That is wasted motion.
When you get ready for the K-member and what ever other parts you want, let me know, killer deals being made at Herron Performance.

you need more gear and less weight.
let's do a k-member and A-arms.
The key to getting the car to ET is to get the best 60' and 330'.
That car if done right can leave at 6k+ and pull 1.5 60's.
What are the stock settings on all 4 during the vid?
We ran 12b/spool/4.33s on 26" tires, shifting becomes quick in the first 660'....
