Drag radials let a car into the groove then as it was in the past then, correct?

Haven't made it to one of these in a year or two, what can a person expect for track prep, etc? Everybody in the groove, out, or does it depend on what tire your running? Thanks!

Had not heard you guys joined the MWB, very cool!

If weather cooperates, gonna drive down for the footbrake race.

Nice! was that the first pass in the 10's?

10-4. Only made two passes the whole weekend, first was 11.00 @ 120. Slowly getting it sorted out, out of injector already at 24-25 psi though. Turbo should be good for somewhere below 10.50.

10.98 @ 121 mph, 2009, 87 Buick GN

Been having problems with the rear brakes not holding at the line for a decent launch, had leaking C-clip elimators greasing up the shoes. With that cured for the time being, went to Minot yesterday and first pass with a 9lb launch and 22 lbs boost the rest of the run was a 1.64 60ft, 7.32 1/8th at 93.4 mph. Didn't want to move up a class so turned it down to 19lbs and ran 7.60s the rest of the day, 60s degraded to 1.7xs after that first run.

Hopefully this link helps, the Y-fitting port with the restrictor goes to the compressor housing.

Oh, still has the V6, converted to roller cam, ported stock heads, CPT 66 BB turbo, powerstroke front mount, built 200-4R with 3500 stall. Currently set for 22 lbs boost at 18 deg. timing on 91 octane and methanol injection.

Well, I live more in the western part of ND (seems like the middle of nowhere), usually find myself at the 1/8th mile track in Minot during the summer, but try to make at least one the Tintmaster's events a year. I'm married, and have a 20 mo. old daughter that requires a lot of my time.

That better?
