I don't really roll into it until I get to the camera.

Made it back to another no prep event at our local temporary "race track". Ended up going way faster, and was one of the fastest cars there that drove thru the gate.

That has got to be a great feeling. If you get more traction off the line you will really have some killer 60' times. Smoking fast brother. Great job

Thanks man. 60' was only a 1.80. I should have pulled the timing for a longer amount of time. Too much wheel speed.

I couldn't read the clock. what did you do?

Better be careful dialing in the no prep tune - you'll be on the street taking everyone's money until the law catches up with you

Lol not a chance I'd ever race on the street. Those guys are nuts.

Honestly the car is doing pretty good for what it is. It's a gbody, not a foxbody... Strike one lmao. Learning that 99% of this no prep stuff is weight bias. Still have full interior, and battery is still under the hood not in the trunk. What's also really impressed me is this car doesn't even have a spool. You would think no prep would be terrible without a spool. Gunna make a few changes next week. Hoping for a 6.7 or better. Side note with this set up, and 80lbs lighter, went 6.0 to the 1/8th on the track dead hooked on a radial.

This video is of the first day. I was running just over half a second faster this past weekend. First race on here I was against a big tire nova (2800lbs). Second race I was all alone... accidentally tapped the two step button towards the end of the run lol (@ 1:21:11)
