OK just got back from a test and tune session at South Georgia Motorsports, and man was it fun. Everyone had nothing but good and nice things to say about ole Lucy and she was ready to go. I just have to learn how to caress her to achieve the best times. I did learn that the best launch is around 3500-4500 RPM and let the clutch out easy. If ya pop the clutch she spins and wheel hops. She is totally stock no mods, Y]well not yet, and she ran a 13.9. I need some more time with her and learn how to respond to the tree better. Thanks FORD for a very fun race on Sunday drive during the week car.

Your 60 ft. time of 2.07 is great! I for one have discovered how hard it is to slip the clutch just enough so she doesn't go crazy with the wheel hop. Great job and keep us updated on your future trips to the strip.The Boss Hog

There ok with the drivers door window down, but pass window must be up, and yep, r/t times are bad I know, something I have to work on. Some friends and I are talking of renting the track for a day so, Hopefully I'll get more than a couple of passes and find best launch rmp's and get the reaction times down.
