| finally got to try the new suspension out on the track. i could not be happier with how she handled. stayed flat as a pancake and had great grip in the corners. the slalom speed i was carrying was far beyond what i could hold before.

| I can tell by the vid she doesn't snow plow with speed in corners. It can carry the shikanes and she has alot more manners on the course. Sweet Jon! |

yup. its a nice setup cause it throws some challenges at you. there is quite an elevation change in that parking lot believe it or not. if you stand on one side of the lot you can't see the cars running on the other side. so turns over the crest make the car light and you loose traction and stuff. i like running sears center.
at about 29 seconds in the vid you can see where i come over the crest and it drops in the middle of a slalom._________________ 2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

our clubs next race there isn't till 7/17/11 for some reason. i might try to run with another club in the couple months leading up to that though. for some reason our schedule is real light early this year, then heavy August to October when we have 6 race dates._________________ 2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| thanks guys.
Adam maywood is pretty beat up so our club is steering clear of that venue this year. it sucks that they wont stay on top of the pavement quality there cause it was cheap to rent. we stopped having a free lunch in order to afford the better racing surface. _________________ 2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |
