I don't think you will have much luck finding a 4.5 inch to 3 inch reducer. You may be better off having someone make that last section of pipe with a flare to 4.5 and just using a 4.5 silicone coupler.

Congrats to Greg for running in the 10's! Great job! I broke into the 12's for the first time and had a blast. Great to see some old faces and meet some new folks. It's good to be home.

did the 555r's hook?

Not really, I was spinning in every run through third. Even after a burnout I could spin them just by tapping the gas. Thought they would hook better than that. Running 18 psi. Looking at the video, I wasn't getting them good and smokey.

First time driving the car, using the camera, editing and posting a video. I'll do better at all of the above next time.

Nice, job! Thank you! I'm on there at 3:45, spinning but still winning with a whopping 13.06. :roflmao:

On there again at 6:14, looks like I never got the tires good and smokey with a 13.31 with Ray and I both spinning big time in first. Having fun though!

Times slips were 12.79, 12.63, 13.06, 13.31, 12.41(best), 12.81, 12.89, 12.491, and 13.04. So out of my nine runs, those were my two slowest runs. I still love the video though, even linked it my facebook page.

Thanks for the video and posting for us!

they say it takes longer to heat up the 555r.

Thanks. I ended up with a 12.38 as my best. With some more seat time it should be in the 11's. I may go to Hertford next weekend, anyone interested?

It was spin City for everyone from the Superbee to CornBread . I Still had fun hanging with everyone and making a few one legged passes. Time for the day was an 11.45 @ 122 mph with a shitty 60ft spinning and then spun around the 1/8th and peddled that pass. My 13 sec pass was @ 120 and peddled that one and if it hooks should be low 11's. The car pulls hard and wants to go when it hooks. Time for a True Trac!!
