Good deal! I wish there were more LTx cars in my area, even more Fbodies, would be great too.

10.6 @ 126 is movin out!! The guy is lucky with the wheel studs. There is a guy in here from FL that hit another car due to sheering his studs. AC has as much bad luck as I've ever seen....

We will be looking at Mikes car after lunch to see what happened.

The T/A has 1/2 studs and a Moser 9".

PT4400 is going in before Friday and more testing this Sat.

That sucks tony broke. I saw him when he finally got there with a broken quick disconnect on the fuel line so it didn't start out well either for him. Hope he made it home alright.

I guess some 73 year old racer stayed and helped him fix the car. They where there until about 11p.m
