Were redesigning them so that you don't have to tighten and untighten a bolt every time you set it. It's going to be a ratcheting design that can be set up in 30 seconds. We pulled a 1.9 second 60ft with the old design naturally aspirated. :)

Wow a 1.9 60ft. thats pretty bad ***. Was that on normal tires or drag radials..That is bad *** for the price.

Street tires... Given the SHO's relatively low amount of low end torque, you really don't need much other than the added weight on the front.

Bruce, It's going to be well into the race season that it's done. Unfortunately/ fortunately the two business' are keeping me quite busy right now and I'm not even into the busy season yet.

That's what's nice about having your SHO supplier also be a GTP supplier. :biggrin: I don't imagine too many Grand Prix guys wanna road race like SHO's though, so maybe that doesn't work both ways. (Although, it's their namesake, come to think! :lol: )

Mikey, get the old style for sale again or something. I know I'm gonna need one of those before April 3rd when the drag strip opens here locally for the season. I don't car about the bolt factor

I was wondering why I did not see it on the website last time I went to show a friend of mine. I want one too, and so does he, but just let us know when they are ready to hit the 'site again. Drag season...HA we are open year round!

I was actually thinking of ways to improve launching traction before you released your first design. What I had in my mind was nearly duplicated by your product.

If you'd like, I'd be willing to throw a set on my car at the convention to give a large audience an idea of what gains the launch kit can deliver. I plan on buying a set anyhow.

Mike, that would be great as I don't think we'll have a SHO there. I think we're going to be forced to give demonstrations using the GTP.
