    Also, do not be so quick to judge someone's comments as being derogatory. It is often difficult to interpret someone's intentions having only text and no body language or tone of voice to guide you.

    Thanks for the kind words guy's. It even amazes me. Origionally; I built it just to run consistant 13.0's..... I'm still trying to get one of the photographer's to get a shot of my car launching; it sucks when everyone says there's daylight under them there tires.....

    If the people at the track let me get close enough, I have a pretty good digital camera. Then I can just burn the picture to a CD, you go to walmart or costco and pay a buck or so for a blown up frameable picture.

    Unfortunately I doubt anyone at the track will let me get to where I'd need to be to take a frameable picture.

    Yep, you have to be "one of those guy's" to be in a pretty dangerous position to get that one in a million pic's. They had an area cordoned off for the photographer's; but it was behind the cars! So, odd's are the photo I want was not taken.....

    Well if I can get my hands on a tripod and they allow me to setup my camera in front of your car, I can control the camera(possibly from your passenger seat) with a remote control

    I'm working my ass off to race at an event. After this coming friday, my mustang should be track ready once again. Which reminds me, I desperately need to get those kyb's and rear suspension stuff so I can slap it on next weekend.

    I'll assume that you already dropped the front sway bar?

    If not, do it and run a short belt....

    Sorry, I lost track of this thread...

    The front swaybar has been long gone for some time now. The entire serpentine belt was removed for the 12.13 second run; the other five runs of that day were with the serpentine belt on & not a "short belt" ;(P.S.,W.P.,Alt.,smog pump).

    Run#1)12.29
    Run#2)12.32
    Run#3)12.34
    Run#4)13.3 :Cough: missed 2-3 shift :cough:
    Run#5)12.13<no serp. belt>
    Run#6)12.31

    All with serp. belt runs were at 111mph.

    Here's another good shot of my car leaving the line that recently showed up .....
