Hey guys, my name is Alex McWilliams, 04SRT on WVMS and KYHP. I'm from Wellston, Ohio and go to KVD quite often. I was a spectator at the season opener and had a great time. I'm planning on joining in on the R/S fun this round to see what I can do. I could care less about winning, it's all about having fun and seeing some killer street cars going heads up off an arm drop, I love it! Here's what I'll be putting down the track in. :)

Thanks guys. A lot of guys love the wheels, but I'm not a wheel whore so the brand name means nothing to me and it's not the look I'm going for, hopefully I'll be able to find the wheels I want and get some cash in my pocket as well. BTW, what was low ET of R/S in March? I expect to run mid-high 7's, depends on how rowdy I get launching it I guess. lol

If you are running mid 7's on street tires (>170 treadware I think) you win. That is really impressive times for street tires in the 1/8 mile. Do you have a time slip in the 7's on street tires or do you just expect to run that fast?

That's what I'm expecting, but I haven't run the car at the track yet so who know. My buddy who owned the car previously says he ran a 7.6 on the stock wheels with BALD tires (like I wouldn't have driven to the track on them bald) and 2nd and 3rd syncros gone. I personally saw him run 7.7, so I don't doubt the 7.6.
He sold it to a guy in Dayton who added the CCWs (lighter than stock) with brand new Kuhmos (180 tread wear, 315s in back) and a brand new RPM level 4 trans, so I can only assume that I should be able to match his times or better. lol
I'm going to try my best to make it tonight, but it's not looking too good. Some unexpected things came up and I have to be up very early tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll be able to make the hour drive, race/wait all night, then drive home and get up at the crack of dawn.

Sounds like you could do it. Nice car. I had my daughters graduation last night and couldn't make it. I'm planning to make the next one. Hope to see you there.
