#1 Post by supernova » Thu Sep 15, 2011 8:33 am

We're ready once again to head out to the track for more TnT.
Friday night TnT here we come!

New tires, ( M/T 28x10.5 slicks )
New converter, ( #5, was told I now have the right one )
New ladder bar set up ( change set up )
New trans, ( rebuilt old one with better parts )

Leaving the tune up the same as last time out to see where we're at with it and go from there.

I'll make a couple motor passes to scrub the new tires in. But after that, it all about the nitrous.

How's the weather going to be?

Hopefully like what we're suppose to have, fall like conditions in the low 60's.

Are we going to see any mid to low 5's this time?

Definitely put it on your calendar. There might be several DragStuff members there including the one and only John Heard.
