I need to get a hold of you to talk about converters at some point...

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" />

LOL! Thats the EXACT same video I had in mind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Was just waiting to get home to upload it. Theres ALOT to be said for a car scraping the back bumper, while PEDDLING it (listen to the throttle)Heres the full, higher quality version. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Hmm, On the way home I tried to pickup a set of TR55s for ya, but all I could find are some Densos that are 5 ranges hotter. Still want em? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

BTW, I need $34 for shipping and handling if you want my fouled TR55s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.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
