    New times for Purple

    Changed suspension to ladder bars and coilover springs.Cut off all the brackets welded to the frame.This gave the room to change tires from 29x9 to 29x10.Rims from 15x8 to 15x10 with 8.5 b/s.

    Car ran 1.496 60'
    6.409 1/8 mi. @110.02
    8.368-1000 ft.
    10.059 1/4 mi. @ 132.47

    It was a good day.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
