OK, looks like the track has a lot going on (Cecil County Dragway)
Ssssoooooo, I'm going to try to slip up there on Wednesday May 6 or 13 work and weather dependent
I could go South to Capital or MIR (Capital is the closer of the two) but with all this BS in Baltimore going on and tolls if I took I-95/I-895...just to make a pass or 3 and to get the boot for going too fast (I HOPE ) I would rather just sneak up to Cecil.
I have a 4-point bar right now, and have already been warned before at Cecil (11.32), but have a door bar being made right now that will make me legal to 10.0s and I won't have to worry anymore.....until I spray it anyway
Fingers crossed that this converter does what we all hope in the other post.

Well, the ol' girl is locked and loaded, ready for Wednesday :crossedfingers:
Sixtoes1313 heard some rumbling in the neighborhood and swung by on his way home from his parent who live around the corner from me.
Full tank of 93, laptop on charge, getting nervous....I do every time

I guess so. the agent stopped the estimate at 8,500. the interior was NASTY. it's been across fields. it's hard to tell from pics, but maybe the mesquite trees in S texas chewed up the paint? the removed the rear seats, removed the bed liner. broke a few interior items. hoping I can buy it back. I just bought a new Avalon in December and don't want to jump into another car note.

buttoned up a few things with the car over the weekend and took it out yesterday. It feels good, drives a lot better with the MT S/R radials on the front than it did with my old 165/80 skinnies. I bumped up to an .035 idle feed restrictor over the winter but I still have an ever so slight cracked throttle lean spot. Its hardly noticeable and I think I can kill it with air bleeds. It was a long hard winter here and it felt really good to drive it again.
