It was fairly good weather but I passed since no one was going to be there to get my back in the event of some mechanical issue surfacing. Also, it is a lot of work for me to change to my drag radials in the desert heat. And, although I like to legally accelerate past the speed limit, I still am not happy with a 1000' strip as the 5.0 is geared to run the 1/4 and top out 3rd gear just about as it crosses the finish line. So, it is just starting to come on the pipe in 3rd when run at a 1000' strip.
In short, unless there are some weak Crapmaros, and/or Mustangs, to put on the trailer, Willow is no big thing since it is way too easy with a tall geared auto trans car on MT DR's. I even run 26 psi hot in the MT's since they still grip well enough even at that inflation. Just mat the throttle and try to get a good RT, as the rest is all done automatically by the car.
