I'll prob run whatever everyone else, (gen 5) is going. What's the deal with the decals?

With a 325/50/15 ET street we were cutting 1.38 60's leaving at 2k. Leaving on some boost with the 275's we are hunting done high 1.2's (hopefully)

They will give you all the decals you need in tech. Also can run contingency stickers on back window. Car #s will be sold at the big NMCA tent.

I'll take some 1.3s or 1.2s. I normally foot brake to 3500-4000. I might even play with the Trans brake friday.

Cool. Thanks. Sounds easy enough.

Screw the trans brake. It's to violent. I only use mine to get into reverse. Lol

Well if you do go and need someone to line you up in the groove I'd be glad to help. I'll be doing some of that for an ODR LSX car.

LSX Rumble in Atlanta, I drew the Copo in the first round. My friends said the COPO would be so easy. LOL. I ran my best time but didn't stab the brakes hard enough I guess. The COPO won the event.

That copo's is one mean machine.

Just giving the other guys a hard time.

If I line up next to it...I'll give it my best shot!

I wont be making that long 15 hour haul to Ohio unfortunately. The LSX Rumble event is a kool show. If you run the True Street but be prepared to give up some qualifying runs in 5th gen. I found out you cant do both and be really consistent (or at least for me). True Street runs on a 1 second index and the 5th gen was set on half second index. I got my car to run back to back 13.500 times in 5th gen qualifying but then try to run straight up 13.000s in True Street was too difficult for me to adjust my driving foot. I am running a stock SS car on street tires with no tune and hoping to take out a COPO. LOL!

Well it's index racing so the issue there is reaction time and having it dialed in. Also Jeremy has a transbrake that I'm assuming he uses if the rules allow.
