Good job Frank. I hope to get out to NPR while the weather is good. I finally got a rollbar in the car so it's legal to run there. I plan on going in the next few weeks. Are you going to State Capitol this Sunday for the "Street Legal Nationals"? LMK Later Clint

Yeah Frank, how do you manage to cut such a great 60ft.? What modification do you think helped the most in your opinion? I know the whole car has to work as a package but I'm looking for any tips you might have.

Zrated I run a stock suspension so the key to good 60fts would be good track prep,good air,Vig3200 leaving at 1500 and thats about it. Also Joe designed the cam to leave hard and not have to be turned to the moon.Frank95z

is it fair to say the custom Joe O Cam is the best cam out there?

also vids and sound clips would be sweet!

congrats on achieving everyone's dream times!

I also have a Vigilante 3200 w/ my 396 and it likes to be flashed off the line, not hard stalled. Looks like you're flashing your's also.

Those are really great times, 60ft included for the mods you have. I'm down in your part of Louisiana often with work (drive by Capitol all the time on HY 190). I would like to get down there to race sometime (NPR and Capitol) No-E, or No-E Street class.

Jake Yes i have a rollbar with a swingout on the drivers side. That way even if someone parks close to me at Walmart i can still get into the car My car weighs 3325 or so with me in it. Engineer since NPR opened i don't go to State Capitol. Its a difference off 40 miles vs 95 miles from my house each way. Come on down to NPR you won't be disappointed. Frank95z

What weight reductions have you done? My car is 3400 without me in it, and that's with no rollbar... so you must have taken out a lot of weight!

I can vouch for Frank; I race with him at No Problem almost every week end. The car makes way too many laps to live that long with spray.

Frank, Good luck at the races this weekend… RJN

It may not be a stocker, but I bet it took lessons from one Nice pass!
