On a little update..pulled the th400 out of the car last night and will be putting a glide back in tonight hopefully..

You scared? LOL. I am thinking the same thing will happen to me at some point. I'm going to run the th400 for this year at least to see how it does. It should be interesting on the 250 shot. It will be on a controller though.

Well its been a while since I've gave any update..been racing in a new local heads up class, true ten five..http://www.oktrueten5.com/?page=1

Car has been a best of 5.94 so far still on a 150. This is at the race weight of 3100lbs.(would like to pull the 250lbs I had to add to see what she'd do) Next race is this weekend. Plan to pill it up a little more, but just want to be cautious with how the vic. jr. intakes don't distribute real well when spraying with a plate. I have plans to switch over to a fogger some time in the near future. Here's a few pics from a friend that shoots the races..check out her site..










These two are from a track rental I was part of. Starting to get the car to leave with out wheelie'n
