Default 75 days....

...until the first quickstreet race! I'm starting to get spring fever.

Cleaned out the garage

Organized my tools (Which got dumped out of my tool box at the last race)

Car starts coming apart tomorrow

I haven't even looked at the car since I pushed it into the garage last November. I didn't even drain the water out of it or pump anti-freeze, I just put a little space heater blowing under the car, I probably spent $300 in electricity this winter just to keep it from freezing

I'll have a **** load of parts for sale in the next few weeks... still looking for a drivers side T-top if anyone has one cheap

I'll be running Real Street (9.50). They don't really have any rules... they just make them up as they go Page 44 of the NED racers handbook has the same rules as last year, but they change them at random. Basically I don't assume anything, I go to the outlaw racing corp tent and ask questions a couple times a day when we're at the track.

And congrats on the baby on the way!

Fast street is going to be a huge class this year, last fall the class was getting bigger every week.

Once my junk's together 9.50 index will have another car. Sorry to say I won't be doing any big wheels up launches I don't expect... but running the # shouldn't be a problem.

cars are so gay, its winter, sled time baby.

My car has been chillin on my lift since the last time out in the fall. untouched. havent even looked at it, but since i did tubes i havent even added air to the tires. lol


i do have to get a move on here and get a set of heads. also i think im going to get rid of my big *** stock location fuel system, see if i can loose 100 pounds with it. then maybe a set of wheelie bars. or maybe i will just throw a set of heads on it and rip it out and run it as is. we'll see. right now there snow, must play in the snow

What class are you gonna try to run this year Brad? Another 100 lbs out and a good set of heads may be enough to get it close to 8.50 class yes?

I would say the 8.50 class will be the 8.1's cars that dont have the new SFI setup.... similar to my car certed to 8.50's... car ran 5.41 in the 1/8 with 750fwhp NOS small block.... now 150lbs lighter and 300 plus HP good for 8.50's

i'll probably keep running the real street 9.5 index, im not sure yet. i think im just throwing a set of cheep heads back on it to get her ripping again so with the 100 shot im pretty good with the 9.5 class its a little to fast, but i can tune it down a scrap. im not sure tho. i may just say screw it and let all the sand baggers run real street and i'll loose in quick street. lol

Why, what changed for SFI now? I'm already wondering if I'm gonna get the boot for not having a chute on the car, I'm hoping they stick with the 150 mph deal and not try to inforce the 9.99/135 mph that seems to be floating around.

OF course with epping being ihra, they'll probably give me **** for getting an nhra lic and chassis cert anyway.
