Default Where we 'ARE' is NUMBER 1 !!!

Probably won't make it down there boys, so we'll have to hook up next year.... <img src="http://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/contrib/sarge/BoomSmilie_anim.gif" alt=" - " />

The car's next appearence in Public will be Dec 4-6th at the incredible PRI Trade Show down in Indianapolis Indiana. It will be in the Awesome TNT booth for display, following its 'big brother's footsteps, our 1999 Black C5
(9.25@155MPH ),which graced the TNT booth last year!

The Camaro's best pass of the year is a 8.92@155.35 MPH, with a 1.39 60'.

3250lbs, 3-speed tranny w/ lockup, Moser 9", TNT DP Fogger, ARE Solid-Roller 422ci LS1 with Ross Pistons, Lunati Crankshaft, Holley Cast Intake, BMR suspension, Weld Racing Rims, Racetronix, The Chassis Shop, Madman LS1-Motorplate, Mystical Airbrushing and Don Butt Autobody. And of course all the boys and girls at the shop for great teamwork!

We are allready working on next years setup and it should be very interesting to say the least! According to the master plan, the heads should flow just a little bit more than Niagara Falls <img src="http://smilies.networkessence.net/otn/wink/thumb.gif" alt=" - " />


From everyone at ARE: Get Well Soon JohnL!!!

We swapped it out for the last race with a prototype 3-speed thats been in the works for 8 months. We went 8.97 with the 2-speed under full power and 8.92 with the 3-speed with less than full power and first day out with it. The tranny is built for 2000hp applications! <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

Big Show our passes were all made on Racedays up here, in the OSCA True Street class. All Summer the car has run 8.90's - 9.1's. And besides that, how many of us here TNT their cars and write a post about it. I don't see anything wrong with that.
