Does anyone know the altitude of the MI drag strips? I was just wondering, cause I see some people's timeslips and I think what the hell these people are doing right that I ain't doing.

I think Milan is only like 600 ft. above sea level, so you can't use that excuse.

What's the problem, anyway?

Lapeer, Milan, and Ubly are all approximately 1500 ft.

What kind of work do you have done and what were your track times again? What track did you run at? and is your car still at the stock weight?

All of my info is in my sig. I ran at Milan. I still have a few problems to sort out. Also my car is all factory weight including the jack, spare, full tank of gas, and my subwoofer and amp. I need to launch a little bit better with the E.T. Streets too. I want to weigh my car somewhere (where do I do it in MI), I know it has to be a little on the heavy side for a GT.

Where is your sig?

That sub box probably weighs 40 lbs, the spare and jack another 40-50. I did a lot to my car to get it down to 2750 lbs.

You can weigh you car for free at the public works bldg on Rochester rd around 17 mile. If you want to take your car there I can show you where it's at. I go there every time I take weight out.

Milan is pretty tough for traction too. Ubly is the best in my opinion. Lapeer is ok, but sometimes it's pretty slippery.

Ubly has such lavish facilities, too.

Have you guys looked at Milan's website? It looks like Ricardo Corp. is making some nice improvements.
