Tom is doing it N/A graemlins/thumbsup.gif The only advantage I see to using nitrous is in heads up or street racing,heck I could have been in the 10's a long time ago,instead I'm gonna do it the "expensive" way.

Hey Bryan,

Congrats !! That little "10" at the front of the timeslip is a fun thing to have !!!

So now I am going to have to take off some of my ET limiting Items to keep ahead of you :D

This is because I may quit racing on Wed nights with the Monte, Almost went to the wall again Wed due to poor track conditions
(evening dew coming down) getting tired of weighting the car down and keeping it slower.

bryan Won't know until next Sunday, As of right now I am super softening the Timing Curve and putting a bolt through my accelerator pedal and adjusting it to limit throttle. Hopefully I can turn 12.10's at 110 or so...I am not to enthusiastic about it so I am not changing the Torque Converter for one race to run 12's. I think it is Ridiculous that a Street class only goes down to 12.00, I mean come on there are a lot of 11 second street cars out there now.

Although I have had a very successful season this year, they are slowing my class now from 11.00 to 12.00 for next year... :(
