One can only Hope that the New Management makes some well needed changes at Dorchester...........I'll be there next Sunday. A friend is going to lend me his MT 275/60 15's to use on the GT500 (I hope they will fit).... Hopefully I can Hook with them and will see what kind of times it will put down while still stock....I would be happy to see some high 7's atleast.........I'm also taking the GN along with me too, I have the Boost set a bit higher this go around. With the cooler weather I'm hoping for some high 6's (keeping my fingers crossed here). The last time I was out at the track was last year..:oops:.. The temps were like 95/96 degrees and I was running 20# of Boost and shooting methenol. Best time was a 7.4 @ 97mph with a 1.6ish 60ft...I really need some slicks to help me some more off the line. I currently have the Boost set at 25# (now that the engine's broke in). After I see what times she puts down, I'll put some good gas in her and turn the wick up to 30#'s (at a later date)......That's as far as I dare turn the Boost up on her. My wife will drive the Shelby to the track for me Sunday and I the GN. Laurie will not run the Shelby down the track, as she will be recording the runs. I might need a volunter to run it down the track, while I'm in the next lane with the GN...:twisted:... Would need someone that knows how to row the gears, someone with experience that is. :ty:

Yea I knew JR and Lenny took over for Yaki and Mike, and that there were no track changes this season. I hope they use the extra gate fee for some good to the track. I have known them and their family for years and can honestly say neither of the 2 guys that took it over are racers, except for bracket finals, so I guess we will see..

FYI. If you havent relocated your rear sway bar the 15" rims will not fit, and no you cannot just take it off at the track and bolt it back on afterwards. The sway bar mounting bracket has to be cut.

Damn...............That sucks. With the rock hard tires that are currently on it, I be lucky to even run low 8's. What size rims would fit on it without the swaybar mod?

Thanks for offering, not sure if I will even bring it now though, but then again I might as well see what it will run with the handicap of the stock tires. But if I bring it you are the man.............Thanks :cheers I will probably need to keep the traction control on for a better time, I'm guessing.

I think you can get 17" on it but am not sure.

I havent had the chance yet to get under a new one yet, my Mach 1 (SN95 chassis) I use to run 16 inch ET Streets cause I didnt want to grind on the brake calipers to run 15 inch wheels.
