DAMN Larry... I'm sorry to hear that. I'm the guy that bought your SFC's, they made a HUGE difference, but my clutch died the weekend afterwards.

Did you get that panhard rod on that you were wrestling with that day?

Dang Larry, sorry to hear about that. Russell told David and he called me and told me the news.

You going to give some of your parts to Russell?

Thanks again for all the kinds words. I've lost my Mustang but I'm alive. That is really all that counts. And even more importantly I was able to keep out of Larry's way and not wreck him!

I want to give a big hand also to RCI and their 5 point Y harness. The way I was being jerked around in the car I would have possibly been thrown out without it doing its job.

ScottyG,

Looking forward to a little fun run with you against my Camaro.

Matt,

That was a good run we had. I hope I made your car a little faster when I went by you. That is what John C told me when I raced him in his Camaro. He was running 11.5's back then though.

DJ's99SS,

Good meeting you last night. Hope to see you again.

VipZ28,

I did have the pan hard bar on. Looks like it did not do its job!

Mike,

Russell has spoken for my engine. As compared to his 302 183K mile engine he will be in for a surprise when he brings it up to about 3000 rpm in second gear and punches it. It will be interesting to see what the dyno numbers look like behind a 5 speed.

All I can say is HOLY ****!

I just saw the video of the run. All I can say is ...well I can't say anything. Dang Larry you took one hell of a pop. I have to say you did one hell of a job of keeping that thing on your side of the track! I'll capture it and email it to you or set it up where you can view it.

DJ, and MM it was cool to finally meet you guys! Hope to see you some more out there!
