So I assume you have to wear all the safety gear to race one.....-5 Jacket and pants.....gloves...neck collar....

60' times should be in the 1.20's with a 3 speed I would guess....

I would love to drive one myself.....with the front end flyin high.....

Your a lucky man to be able to own and race one.....

Don't let Jeff drive it.....He won't give it back......LOL
Rich - You're very right as I've not driven deep into the nines - that said I've recently fixed everything you can imagine within my body and I'm ready - I've been in the 1.20's 60 footwise so I'm OK with that .As far as the safety stuff goes I went shopping at Biondos' and came up with some really nice Sparco gear from them - can't thank them enough as I more than likely was way too picky and was probably a pain in the butte .Like they say - even if you can't drive well you should look good doing it ! ! !

And if and let me repeat if it scares the stuff out of me .....I'm quite sure Jeff will be glad to give me the Trans Am back and shoe the COPO . ( Geez Jeff stop smiling already )
