  I really think with a little more clutch work a low 40 or high 30 is possible

Had some problems with my tow vehicle also.
Will either be there on a Wednesday for Street Night or a Friday TNT.

You would have to reign it in A LOT on Wednesdays
Can’t run faster than 11.50

There is a TNT lane on Wednesdays also but you might only get 5-6 passes all night

  a couple friends & I went up on a Wednesday for TNT. I think I went 9.51. Nobody yelled but our first was at 6;30 . we went back & next run was with headlights. We sat in staging lanes at least 45 minutes. Not real fond of wednesday nites. I see by your post your a fairlane guy. Thats cool they're sharp.Is it street car or race?Are you local?

I’m from Western Ma. My Fairlane is a street car with lots of the usual concessions to make it quicker at the track. .
I met you at LVD several years ago.

Your ‘Stang is strong. It would likely be in the Quick 8 at the FE Race & Reunion.
That’s the place to be for FE guys.

And a stick car no less. Even at the reunion anything in the 9s has an automatic mostly.

 I've been to reunion couple times, I was in the 9s as deep as now, I'm sorry I dont remember talking with you, Your fairlane sounds pretty stout. If I can get tow vehicle back up & running I would go to reunion again. I do have another pickup to tow to valley not Pa.

As of just a few years ago a 9.8 would not get one into the Quick 8. The  ET cut off is probably even lower now.

X2 on the relative scarcity of 3 pedal cars in that class. John N gets in there, I ‘ll assume that is what Phil was running in.
