For anyone who wants to get involved post up a picture of your ride. Tell a little about it also if you'd like. Just to help some of us out knowing who all is in for some heads up racing to get on the list. Ill start. Others can follow along.
Mine is an 04 Cobra. Stock motor, T56, solid axle with 3.55 gears. It does have a 2.9 Whipple on 22lbs. Best so far has been 10.74@132. That was on 26x8.5 slicks spinning like crazy. Suspension work is taking place now to hopefully lower the 60 foot times. Kilkare is my track of choice.

I bought it as a shop truck from a guy down out past Lexington. Its an original 4.3, with a 3 on the tree, AC, Manual brakes, Manual steering and roll up windows. I have way too much in it, but I dont see getting rid of it anytime soon. When I have the time, Ill be swapping in a LS of some sort with a T56 and NOT painting it.

06-22-2015, 10:24 PM
I got the 26x10 stiff sidewall Mickeys. With it being a 6 speed I wanted to try them out and see if the stiff sidewall really helps. I may try the new ones later on though.
NXcoupe
06-23-2015, 09:35 AM
The stiff sidewall does help if your weight transfer is right. I went from a 1.31 to a 1.26 60ft on my car with them. I still have them on it now. I think stick cars benefit more from them for some reason.
draggin50
06-23-2015, 09:01 PM
That's what I've been hearing Mike. Hope it works as well for me. I have other suspension parts also I need to get on yet. I'd be happy with a low 1.40 60ft. Time!
NXcoupe
06-24-2015, 10:08 AM
I think you will like them. Make sure to melt them on the first pass, dont drive them on the street, and keep them out of a lot of sunlight.
I'm going from a DR to QTP's. I need the softer sidewall to take some of the shock from a 2-step 5500-5800 turbo launch. I've got horrible 60's due to spinning bad or bogging.

Yep. I'd call that a win in your column. Yeah, I know, lifes a bitch. It started pouring down rain a few hours after I posted I wasn't going. So I guess it wouldn't have worked anyway. I'm shooting for this thursday or next friday for sure. I finally got my home computer back from the repair shop, rather the replacement computer since mine took a shat.

He and another trans guy both said the same thing was wrong, so I think it'll be a quick fix. Also going to have the trans brake fixed on the valve body while it's apart. I think it'll be a blast to run it. Shooting for KK this week. Have to watch weather and see what's going on with setting up the dyno and my racks but I am busting ass to get it all lined out so I can get to the track. Been way too long.

That car should run real good! I was thinking about calling him last week to see if he still had the turbo kit for sale. I may try to take the day off to go to Kilkare Thursday depending on the weather. Have to wait till later in the week to see. I hate to burn time and it rain.

Is side betting allowed on this? Or would one get banned for life like pete rose?
I'm just saying.
Correction, I'm just asking

Nothing wrong with a little friendly wager I don't think!

I had my first and second race for the list last Friday... Lost to NXCoupe but beat Lambo. Hope to improve my times and Challenge up the list. My car is a 1997 Cobra DOHC stock engine. I have done a handful of bolt-on type mods and occasionally run a little nitrous. Manual t45 transmission and way too tall rear gear (3.73:1). But it is fun and I like banging the gears. so here are a couple of pictures... Loving the List Racing

Love that car. Neither one of us made a pass to write home about. Kind of who's car messed up the least. Lol.
