Well I met up with 46stang today with his new 03 cobra. I have to say its a killer car! Man that things nicee!

My cars been running good, better than when I ran a 12.3 at the track definatly.

We lined em up for a race, I ran on slicks, he had his street tires.

I gave him the go, and we launched. I still didn't have good traction on the slicks and spun them just a tad into 2nd gear. My car got loose in the rear in 2nd gear as you can see on the video. I dont think I had enough pressure in the slicks.

In 3rd I was about a 3/4 to 1 car ahead (I think) and my car just died! You can hear it in the video, my motor just shuts off. And 46stand pulled past me. This was happening to me at the track as well. We later figure out I had some MSD wires shorting! So it wasn't the greatest race. We'll get a better one at the track later.

Im sure Leon can throw in his 2 cents as well...
