I had trouble with the wmv file too, even after downloading it...perhaps it is because of my distinct lack of Microsoft on my system. Hope you don't mind, but I converted it to an avi with divx encoding....if it helps anyone else see this, you can get the converted one at http://www.cowspatoot.com/downloads/114.avi
Great run, BTW....

I will have to take some pics of the car and interior. The paint is actually not all that good, it just looks good from a distance. The nose paint is cracked and scratched, chips all over, but the new Mr. Mikes seats make the inside look good.
Don, I think it had more in it, the air got better that night, but I was trying to not get kicked off the track. So I slowed it down, next run was a 11.8 @ 89 MPH on the brakes. I ended up accidentally running 11.48 the next day in the heat, and they asked me not to come back without a roll bar. I think I could have gotten a 11.3x out of it on Friday with the shift point changes that I made Saturday, and the better air.
I don't think that is tire smoke coming off of the car. It seems to smoke a bit for the first half of the run, and then clear up. I don't know if it is condesation in the exhaust or what it is, but I'm not too concerned about it.
I used to have a four speed in this car. I now have 6 or so pieces of spider gear, and one gear with no teeth on it. I threw the blown up case away, as well as the bent clutch pressure plate. That was running 1.7x 60 foots, so I would have to say a getrag would probably last less than a day.
Mobile, the wife says thanks for saying awesome footage. She doesn't get much thanks for doing it, but she does a great job.

Now I have the urge to "Borrow" my sister's '97 Grand Prix 3800SC for a couple of days. Wonder if she will notice the 2.8L engine in her car, after I swap it for the 3800SC?
Hope to see you and the other Lethbridge PFF'ers at Street Wheelers.
Met Trevor (Oneredfiero) this morning. He is currently "Fieroless" and looking for a new ride. He is toying with the idea of starting a Lethbridge Fiero Club chapter, and collecting names and numbers.
