    its kind of a ghetto track. no time boards only time slips. the burnout pad has water on it and water on the starting point. so when i start y r/t is over 1 sec because my tires keep spinning. and i dont want to burn out too much because im using my street tires (dont think i even need to). oh and the track is on a 1% incline (maybe more). last time i went i was running on 5 sparkpulgs and was hitting 18.21 at 86mph i hope that once i get the plug fixed my time will improve. but he has never raced at the track before. but the race is set for the 17th so i will be posting pictures (dont know how to upload videos).

    I think you'll win, but getting your car running properly is more important. I would not take it to the track until you are 100% sure it is running correctly.

    So you were racing uphill on a wet track missing a spark plug?

    Reminds me of the old stories my parents would tell me about walking to school in the snow, without shoes, uphill both ways lol

    Just imagining the run makes me

    Goodluck and when in doubt:

    thats what my friends keep telling me to do. but i were to get n02 there will be 6 pistons flying through my hood. lol.
    so i went to summit to get my plug coils and had none in stock. so im checking a couple other places but if none have them i will have to settle for aftermarket
    oh and about2bite, sorry to hear about your car. i had similar things happen while i was in high school
