don't you have one of those things you put your car on and pull it around the country on? I don't know what to call it because I've never used one myself

Yup, I got one of those.

It's just 635 miles to there and another 635 back.

I know I can get there in a day time, about a 10-hour drive.
If I know the DA is going to be good that evening or the next day I would consider it just soley to get a good number. I would love to see a -1000 foot day, talking about a run. Weeeeee.

Ken when you and I ran you were about .06 or .07 faster. I've found another .04 (and am not telling) since then. It could have come down to the tree and I had a .019 light We run Friday Dec.12 and Saturday Dec.13. come on down if the weather forcast calls for mid 50's and I'll promise you 11.20's. Tim thanks for the compliments the checks in the mail Frank95z

Great time. I wish I could run in conditions like that. Every time I went to the track it was 90 degrees or above and traction sucked.

Awesome times on the pansy cam Frank.


J/K man, those are some sick times for stock heads. I'd love to hit those times with heads + cam in the future.

Gotta love a great suspension and light weight . Frank's car has about a 4-500lb lighter raceweight than most cars with his setup. That's worth 4 or so tenths right there. I'd love to see what a CC305 or 306 would do in it. :hint hint frank:
