Just got back from the Grove. I raced quite a few 5.0L mustangs. I just put on my new Nt05R 305/45r18's. Car hooked like crazy. In fact, it bogged too much. I need to figure out my launch a little better but went an all time best 12.48@114 with a 1.90 60ft. I can get my 60ft down a little with practice. Most 5L ran 12.8 range. Track seemed really good tonight.

I would guess about 40 cars and a few bikes. I wasn't too busy, but enough people there to make it fun.

Nice, I could have run tonight but I have a work call that's starting in 5 minutes.

Any idea what the temp was up there? 57?

Yeah, I saw that too... :-/ maybe next week for me. Might have a small group going Tuesday.

I think I am going to try the factory launch control. See if it helps the turbos spool at all when launching.

sent from my galaxy s3. that would explain the errors.

Looks like it might hold. Too early to tell though.

I'm trying to see if I can get a buddy with a trailor to go up with me. I am planning on launching hard. So I wanna save some money lol
