My town is kinda cool for me, a car faster then 13s with EFI is considered voodoo magic.

A car going faster then 12s on "small" tires is unbelievable.

A "Street" Car faster then 10s??? There isn't such thing anywhere (as far as these hillbillies know). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

George's new email is Xcesive@aol.com
It is true that the 9.04 run was off the foot brake. Three times on the trans brake = three oil pans. We made big strides on keeping the nose down and getting the car to launch straight. We were ready for the brake again, unfortunately the blower was not. The new combo is on the dyno now and should be ready in 3-4 weeks. The 'vert is coming out 200lbs. lighter and in PRO Xtreme Street trim. Should be one hell of a ride. Now if I can only talk him into going to the Thunder Shootout. We would still be 400lbs. heavier then the minimum but I think He could hang.

Mikey, Mikey.....what can I say. Holy $hit man that must have been quite a ride.

You made me rethink racing. I think that I'd crap myself going through that.

You did an awesome job keeping it under control. So did you have to lean out the window to watch where you were going? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I hope to have the opportunity to meet up with you again. I'll get a chance to check out your wheelie bars.

See you around,
Roman
