Damn I wanna go... I don't know if I can have a day off yet.

I'd love to see if I can pull a 13 out of my stockish car... My last car ran a 13.6 on G-tech with just FIPK, catback and Hypercrap. G-tech is fairly decent enough to believe the car was running at least a 13.9.

Who knows. Either way I need to finally make my first track run.

Haha I know what you mean. I haven't raced down a track in forever, and never in a 6spd...can't wait! Bet my car is gonna crap out the rear...and I'll most likely be laughing evil like the whole way!

If you've got good tires, you'll break the 10-bolt. Fontana is not known to be particularly sticky or well-prepped, but I grenaded my 10-bolt there with just a cam and bolt-ons.

Re: Hitting Fontana on Sat, 11-12-05

You said Fontana is not sticky...so why would the rear break again? I'm gonna go easy on the launch...not trying to break any records, or any parts for that matter. I've got those Fuzion ZRi's...stock sized...they're very skinny. I think they have like an 8 inch tread, maybe a bit skinnier. Oh well...guess I have to hope for the best...

The last run was ~5:00 or so.

M6's are way harder on the rear, and if Fontana is hooking, you'll damage it on a hard launch. I said that Fontana is not known, like Irwindale is, to be a sticky track.
