We have switched the slicks from Leedom's car to mine (BIG thanks to Ron for letting us use the ET streets, and for the great advice) and I go to the staging lanes. It's about noon and after being at the track for 6 hours, I'm finally about to get a run in when the car in front of me oils down the track . |
Your welcome.

Having said that, I had already looked up prices before I went yesterday. I can get a stock halfshaft from Tousley Ford for $280 and I may pick one up before I go to the track again.
After yesterday I think should be saving up for a clutch if anything though. I could still smell my clutch in the garage last night. I don't think it likes clutch dumps on et streets very much  |
You're going to smell it for about the next month or so. That's how long I could smell it in my Cobra with both my old clutches.
As for your 60ft., you should be in the 1.7 range. I looked at a couple of my old slips from the Cobra where my mph was in the 113-114 range and one had a 1.773 and the other was a 1.711. With the 1.773 the car ran an 11.932 at 114.50 and on the 1.711 it ran 12.016 at 113.08.
