Yes I read that, I like both in fact, I just think track racing is a bit more fun.

LOL well let me know... Right now my only options are 9ff on the broken tranny. There has to be someone that looks at these things and makes them stronger. Otherwise I'll convert to a bloody 6speed... I realistically think I can get very low 10s with it but beyond that- not sure I have the gearing etc..

As much as we talk about drag racing (it's funny to see that we are these days!?) I have to say these cars belong on the road course. I'd rather blow my tranny up doing 30 laps around thunderill than for 10 seconds at a drag strip. Yes it's a rush but drag racing is absolutely brutal on these cars and the amount of enjoyment is seconds.

Did they tell you anything about those complicated valves and what happens to those? I hope it works out. If so a big pat on the back!
