Thats a cool picture! You are getting some extreme grip there! Were you driving? What class of cars do you race against?

Thanks for sharing
Tim

Thanks Tim, yes I was driving, it hooked at first then spun badly. It's a heavy ass Lexus that goes pretty well.. I ran a 10.10@142 on that pass but it was in 100 degree heat. I'm going to put some smaller rear brakes on it and put some 15" wheels & ET Drags. That should get me into the 9's..

Have you ever taken all your cars to the track to like race them all? Is this Lexus the fastest? I think it would be cool if you took them all out and did like a comparison of them. Especially the 69' vs the vipers or ferrari. But then again if I owned them I think I would baby them in the garage and not risk a track problem.
