I am looking into tighting up the front suspention on the right and keep the left side looser and do the same with the torshtion springs on the rear suspention. I am also lowering the ride hight buy straping down a little to get the centere of gravati lower. I may have a set of 8 in carbides giving to me but I will have to make them fit. Been looking on EBay for pick's sense I havent heard from my buddy that has a good used track with picks in it. I got the ski padding on and put my numbers on this morning and now I am trying to put a stinger on the pipe but it's not wanting to stay on and I also have to make a bracket to hols it in the middle of the hole in the belly pan cause It started to melt. But I did have it out and it gave the sled better tork out of the hole.

I was at the track today, its packed very tightly and hard, make sure you have super sharp 8 inch carbides minimum,and good sharp pics in the track.

Its very nice track prep! they have 107 entries as of today already.

Im hoping my truck with make the trip the power steering pump started grouling this morning and the pump is full so lets just hope it does!! Yea i will be there when the gate opens and I don't think they will have the pit in the infield. Just look for the Blur Chevy 1500 and we can park beside each other so if eather one of us needs help we are close.
