Where did you go racing at....Beaver Springs?
As soon as I finish sinking more money in to my '82, I'm going back to the track.
Let me know and maybe I'll go with you next time.

BTW, I don't think you need a cage until you run quicker than 11.50
Also, take my advise, don't expect big numbers unless you have a set of slicks.
I took my '82 the to track for the first time a few a weeks ago expecting to run 12's but ended up only running high 13's because I had no traction with street tires.
I also found out that day, much to my surprise, that my 3:73 gears are actually 3:27 gears!!
So now, I'm waiting to get my new 4:10's installed and going to buy a set of slicks. Then....I should run the numbers I'm looking for!
