hey dragon ,
yeah i aint close to that idea , get my car in my trailer and come for 3-4 days to visit BC and go race at your local track buts thats not before 2015 , since in 2014 i have 0 time off except at cristmas to go back down in quebec to get my car and get the transmission installed
and then more tuning wit new race fuel , and then bring my car up there !
Alberta ftw! quebec bows down to alberta anyway, that's why people are coming here. Only problem is how many transients and imported people move to alberta/mcmurray, they kind of ruin the local culture. It's always funny to hear people say " Oh where I came from is so awesome compared to McMurray" but wait, why aren't you there? Oh right, you can't make $150-300k a year there. haha. Good to hear you found riches so fast. Just don't forget, "for the love of money is the root of all evil" I promise you this is the truth in the end. So a friendly reminder is, you might be young, lots of money, cool girlfriend, big new $80k truck, 1000hp car and a "castle" but in the end, we all get put in our places, I've been where you are. Just take it easy on the hours away from the girlfriend. If you're not there often, someone else will keep her warm haha, long 12 hour shifts are tough on relationships.
The most popular mcmurray quote are: Rings don't plug holes and shift work is great because you can juggle boyfriends/girlfriends!
The only problem with mcmurray when it comes to cars is the roads are crap, there's no tracks unless you drive 1,000km to get there/back and there's always someone with a nicer car.

You know, if you are going to a large sidewall smaller dia. wheel in the rear you shouls go one inch larger on the tire to compansate for the massive sidwall difflection as you are going down the track. That 26 will turn into a 24 at launch then grow back to a 26 as you go faster and faster. Better to have it grow taller than the front at half track and only be minimally shorter than the front at launch. Then the Tcase wont be forced to enguage when you dont need it....the car will be faster, more stable as well.

bought the exact setup has one buddy of mine (in japan) patrick lachance
He runs that and thats how it is !
He does 60 foot in 1.3 sec / 1.4 sec
Look at some slo-mo footage of a full on slick at launch and you will see what I am talking about. Im not saying it wont work...Im just saying it will work better. I would go with a 27x11/15 in the rear (if it will fit) then the front tires are only helping you to mid track. The car will MPH and ET faster.
The reason for this is if the rears are smaller than the fronts (remember the car is back on the rear tires for the whole run) then the ATTESSA will want to enguage the whole time. If there is a size difference front to back (rear smaller) then the fronts and rears will be fighting each other and scrubbing off power. Aero plays a big part too, if you have some downforce on the rear but front end lift that will also make the rear tires smaller and the fronts larger. Traction goes up but, so does torque steer making the car very twitchy above 130 mph. Plus, you dont need the front wheels pulling anymore once you get to half track.
Most people dont think about all that happens dynamically as you are going down the track...I have been in the drag racing gig for.over 25 years and have seen it all. **** gets real serious once you get above 145mph through the traps...you are most certainly going to crack 150 once it all goes right.
