Get to the track air the tires down, run a mid to high 11 all day long, air the tires up and drive home. Nothing on the car has been removed, and everything works perfectly. He is starting to trailer it to events out of town, due to the fact he's 65 yrs old, and doesn't feel like loading the car down to go to the track when you can just throw all the tools and junk in the Tahoe.
He doesn't really have it set up for twisties. With the suspension in those cars, and not a lot of aftermarket stuff out there, its tough to have it both ways. You can have the best of both worlds, but tough to get your best results for either. He likes drag racing, been doing it since the early 70's when he had a 70 Chevelle SS LS-6 454.

Ok, this makes sense.  Glad to hear it. And I wouldn't expect it to be set up for twisties. I like the way he's using it.
