Looking great.

Nice stance!...like a cat ready to pounce.

I like the clean sides of your car, no door bumper trim and stuff, looks good. Clean!

Sounds good! I was hoping you had upgraded that rearend. lol. Let us know how it does... a video would be nice 😀

Thanks for all your comments guys!

I've been going to Luskville Dragway, it's the only one close to Ottawa (my other options are to drive to Montreal, or Shannonville)... Luskville is a sh*t track, with pot holes-and bumps galore. I can't believe it's NHRA approved (probably because they sometimes maintain their 8th mile), I can't even believe it's open. At Luskville, you'll get your fair share of Quebec'er Dousche-bag curtiousy...

Long story short, I've been running 13.8s at about 100-102mph, with wheel spin all through 1st, and a bunch into 2nd, even with a prep'ed pad. Alot of people have told me I'll knock a second off if I go to a proper track... most 13sec cars are running 14s at Luskville, unfortunately.

So let's see what the slicks do! I will post "before & after" videos...

Thanks for all your comments,
very inspirational 🙂
