Default Folks, no Thunder Shootout for me

I took the car to the track tonight. Been having some suspect charging system problems. It reared its head after I did a burnout. Car stalled and wouldnt stay running. Got pushed off track. Car sounded awesome at least doing a 6000 rpm burnout. LOL

I dont have enough time to get the proper parts in time, and test before the shootout.

Have fun folks. Wish I was there racing but have a car to finish up.

Oh yeah, got to see the speartech thirdgen run. ITs awesome! John seems like a really nice guy too! Nice to meet you John. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Im not confident in my braking system either.

I want to upgrade the brakes, the charging system and an anti roll bar too.

Just have some more stuff to do before its quite up to par to take to a shootout anyway.

There will be more next year Im sure. Somewhere at least.

if not, there are little 10.5 races around here my car fits into I can race at. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sorry to hear that you are not going to make the Shootout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

IMO! Safety, is the most important thing in drag racing. A Hot Rod needs to be right 1st and foremost. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Good luck. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Sorry to hear, Curt... I was looking forward to seeing your car at the shootout.

I felt the same way about the MMRA event in Montgomery awhile back. The car was just too far from ready for me to make it.
