Warm weather is just around the corner and I need to get some track time in the Cobra.

I'm posting early so we can get a good showing at Test n Tune in Denton on May 8.

$10 to enter and watch
$15 to enter and race

Change your fluids, tune the ride, and get ready to collect some time slips!

Who's joining me?

Aaron crunched his '87 LX and we're still looking for a donor front clip to get it running again..... no chance by May 8..... maybe the GT though.....

Bring out the GT. Would be fun (as always) to run a few. Aaron still have his bike?

no scratches on Aaron! The bike went away when the tickets mounted up too quickly...... although he's talking about the new GSX-R again......

Hmm, I dont think my car would get traction in the 1/8th. 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd are pretty useless from a digg, lol. It doesn't even "chirp" the tires, it just keeps spinning. (I'll not be buying michlen again when these tires go, nittos here we come!)

You sir need some drag radials or slicks and some beefier half shafts. That should do the trick, just ask Coop. :) I know the feeling... in my 96 with 4.10 gears and street tires I can slowly run third gear up to about 3000-3500rpm and then just floor it and the tires break loose at highway speeds.

If I am able to secure a job by then, I'll be there. I've been itching to get out to the track again. Finally picked up another good rim for the drag radials last year. This will enable me to lower the air pressure at the track. I also picked up a 12V air pump for afterwards.

I had an interview today. I am very hopeful!!!
