Nope I got a little out of shape from 2ND to 3Rd shift and had a little pedaling so I wouldn't kiss the wall. The prior setup ran a 10.1 in the 1/4.

I'll take some of that action. I looked back at my old slips and my Miata with just an intake and exhaust mods ran a 2.086 60' and a 8.90 1/8. This Mustang is way faster in a straight line. September should be good for me.

Most all high powered grudge racers, no prep racers, outlaw 10.5, drag radials etc etc etc are using active TC.

I can't speak to various outlaw classes (or lack thereof) / pinks / etc.

Just the NHRA + IHRA rulebooks.


I honestly can't root for one traction control system (or tune) over another.

But when "someone" (not "the computer" or "the better TC tune") does a nice job "operating" a big ole ballsy handful of car - I appreciate that a lot.

Writing / operating written code bores me.

I can't be there at all tomorrow as the car is still being fixed and won't be ready to hammer on for a couple days driving to break in the new rear diff.
