Damn!

I couldn't keep mine in the water box long enough to get the tires really hot. 2nd gear burnouts helped a little but i was still half throttle for the first 30-40' to keep from spinning.

I guess having a light car isn't always an advantage.. lol

Yep, even with the parking brake the burnout would pull me out of the water box. I thought about backing up and hitting the box again but i wasn't sure if the track guys would get pissy about that.

it's a 5 speed, Muncie 282 with a LSD insert.
