Mike ran an 8.05 last night spinning, he should be able to get in the 7's fairly easy before too long. There was an LT1 car that ran a 6.98 sprayin, that would be a good race for you Steve.

What do you mean your going to watch? Are you not going to participate with me?
I am actually a little nervous. The time is getting near where the rear will either make it, or everyone will be pushing me back in the trailer.
But on the other hand, its been a long time comming. So I am really excited to beat on it a little. Its been over a year since I have been down the track.
See you all tonight around 7-8 ish.

Hey Steve, we missed you not being there with us!
Brian was have some issues with his new clutch, not sure why it wasn't engaging correctly. Hope it isn't "toast"! But he still managed a 8.35 @ 87? mph. His best 60 was about 2.05, but he wasn't spinning off the line with his ET Streets.
I think if his clutch was doing right, he would have been in the 7s.

Just got home from a busy day at work.
Anyways the Exedy clutch sucks. Anything over 3500 rpm dump just results in serious clutch slippage. Anything below results in bog. So Monday I have to see it I just eat a 1300 dollar clutch. It also slipped like crazy when I hit second.
So If they don't end up doing anything for me, I will be on a lookout for a clutch that will hold a 5000rpm dump. Right now, the Exedy doesn't. But the plans are to get them to stand behind it.
Thanks to Becky, NL, Sly, Kelly, and my other two for helping and supporting me. My daughter really liked the run down the track. I still remember her face when we left the burnout box. When the car gripped, she did the same thing.
Looks like I have to pull that damn tranny again this winter.

Man sorry to hear. Wish I knew of a fix for ya. I will tell you, this Ram cluch has no slipping. Not a real daily driver clutch for sure. I can't wait to see how it does at the track. But on the bright side. I'm sure she loved it though. My son loves it. That should make up for dissapointment. Sorry again man.

I'm sorry I didn't call you, we had fun. Where's your hubby this weekend? We aren't doing anything special today, a little resting, a little cleaning, a little resting, lol That new hammock sure feels good!
Sorry to hear about the clutch problems. Darrell wanted to take my car down the track in Memphis, and I think I could have took a few of those cars, but I was scared of tearing something up (like clutch or rear end) and having a haul bill all the way from Memphis! No thank you! I do want to give it a run since we put the cam in. Can't go next weekend, we'll be in Murphy. Just keep me posted on the next time you guys are planning on going! And I bought the NHRA drag racing game for Playstation II and I've been practicing on my RT. Man this game is pretty cool. You can be or race against most of the top drivers in funny car, top fuel & pro stock. I need a line lock in my car -- way too cool!

The Exedy is flawless on the street. I am sure that because the tires can spin. Those ET streets, after I did my (NL guided me in) serious burnout, on the 2nd try stuck like super glue. Those puppies were hot and the track was prepped awsome. I guess if the clutch stuck, the rear would have been toast. It dumped over 5500 at least. But I would rather spend the money on a 12 bolt, not a clutch.

Well if you get a buy one get one free sale on the 12 bolt don't forget about poor all me. Well, big prop's from me for ya just puttin that beautiful thing on the track. Now just drive that thing on some nice days and enjoy. Later Brian. I'm on the way back to work now.
