11.799 116.93 MPH! Still fighting the tire spin, but the truck was smooth (no hop no jump) all the way down. Had a big defuel after second for some reason need to figure out. After I get that truetrac in and get the tires to hook think I might take another tenth or two off. Got all the 'stangs and Camaros afraid of a CCLB on 37s lol

All sorts of tire spin, but with the Tbars all the way down and my home made limit straps 0 issues keeping it down the track so got that part figured out for now

I'll go take some today-but PPE center link sleeved tie rods, moog parts. when I run I take the Tbars all the way down and made some limit straps out of that stretchy tow strap and some ratchet straps. Put it on and just snug it (not too tight). Also run a little toe out

That's why you are having tire spin. That track sucks big time on track prep. The last time we went that way they were spraying coke syrup down to try and make it hook. It is an excellent facility but they try to cut corners in the wrong places. If you want a track that will hook come over to Monroe to twin city motorsports park. They won't say anything about running too fast either they are an outlaw track.

Ok might have to try that. They were adverting that they were working on the track and stripping it to fix the hook issues. But I need to go over there and check that track out when I get a chance.

I ended up running the strap on the other side of the lower shock mount and turning it around so the ratchet is on the backside, but you get the idea. As bad as it looks they work great

The last race we went to over there the track was so bad our car would get out of the hole and at about 100' it would light the tires up. 60' times were 1.12 to 1.17 In Monroe about the worst 60' is around a 1.10
