Just got back from Toronto from the install of Wade's new 4.8 lt Stage II heads. After I spun my rod bearings at Thunder it was time for something new. ARE installed my new (but used) '02 Z06 factory short block. They honed it and replaced the rings then I came up for the install. In and out in 2 days. Nice job guys.

Yes I saw your Silver SS. I thought I was seeing double. Our cages are almost identical. That is going to be a bad ride. Good luck.

I can't wait for them to finish it.It has been in Toronto so long it seems like I don't even have a race car anymore.When they get done it should run 8's,but man it sucks waiting.

GLD and byron tend to stay open as long as they can on the weekends..

US41 is open year 'round on Sundays as long as its warm enough..people were racing in january a couple winters ago when it was real mild out.


Damn man, 1.43 sixty at that track in this weather, how did you do that. lol.

Wow Rich, that's awesome! I'm even more impressed that you are back in the saddle so quickly after the break at TR. Now come here this spring to Cecil or Atco for some -2000 air and watch what happens!

I don't know. But I'm pretty sure the last time I weighed at RT66 that it was pretty accurate.
I hope they are strict at San Antonio unlike another race I recall a few months ago.
