"looks @ time slip"

last time at the track uncorrected:

R/T = .700
60ft. = 2.4
1/8th = 10.1 @ 71 mph.
1/4th = 15.4 @ 91 mph.

altitude = 3,400 feet above sea level

I blame these times all on driver error. I still need to get used to the 5 speed & shifting points heh.

with the new mods I have & practice I should be in the very late 14's early 15's easy.

do you have any mods? ive seen the stock 305 TPI cars go 10.00 flat but the best ive been able to do is a poopy 10.22 but i had a really crappy 60ft, and one fricking tire spun half way down the track. stupid GM why did you opion my car out but not give it a Posi rear end? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? umm... sorry anyways if you are a good driver and can hit your gears and get a decent launch, (unlike myself). And even have some free flowing exhaust parts i say you have a good chance of hitting it. Good Luck

Only thing I can think of is ring and pinion, but that still doesn't make sense.
