I need to work on my burn out technique

I also need to get rid of the air shocks in the azz end as there is no give in the rear so not sure if that would help.....they will be off in a few weeks and hopefully we will be back in Aug.....hopefully I can borrow Andy tires again.....

I actually ran a 13.06 @108 on street tires peddling the car.........figure that one out.....


Ernie and Andys cars are ridiculous.....in a good way
I wonder what Andy and Ernie do, sway bar wise. I've never raced, but have read in the past to loosen them or leave them off???
My buddy had a 72 GTO that was raced from day one, it had front and rear sway bars fully intact with plastic bushings in the end links. This car had some kind of drag race shocks, road like a lumber wagon on the street, mind you this was 1970's technology.
