I really wanted to go to but went on vacation that weekend. Maybe next time RPM can meet me in Jackson and we'll run-up together. Gary do you find it easier smoking (power braking) your tires with the sprint booster?

What...did you say power braking ??? Almost not needed anymore. Just sprint and burn. I must use discipline now to save my tires.
It is a great improvement.

Gary - When I was in high school we use to hold our foot on the brake and stump on the gas to smoke the tires and that's what we called it. I had a '68 camaro in high school and went thru lots of rear tires.

Oh Crap! I just saw the thread today. I would have come down from Wisconsin to meet all of you. Put me on the list and I'll be at the next one ! Sounds like you all had a good time. I'd like to see 15 or 20 Crossfires in a pack on the expressway! TOO COOL!

I know, You called it power braking and I call it a brake torque.
