Message	I was spinning the whole time in first and bogged in second. That's the one thing I hate going back to the 3.69 gears from 4.10's, the car bogs if I can’t get it moving to around 45-50 mph in first gear. I have the run on video; I will be posting it soon. I saw the video, it was nasty! I came out of the hole sideways; you can see my shinnies pointing to the right. As soon as I dropped second gear the car fell on its face, but picked right up. If I can eliminate that bog in second with better traction, i.e. full slicks, there's no doubt in my mind that I can't run a nine. I may need nos, but I will continue trying with out it for a little longer to eliminate the bog.
