Congrats George <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> DAYUM!! I knew I should've gone last night!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> But is the wife's birthday, and I'm already taking her to a football game, so I guess a night at the dragstrip would've been a little over the top on the romantic scale <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I really want ed to see one of those now-famous wheelstands too! That's awesome. Please keep us posted on new things for next year.

Wow, thanks for all the responses guys!!!

I'm really getting tempted to step up the power a little for next year, and go ahead and get the chassis certified and get my license. I like the look of a single digit ET on the timeslip. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Congrats George !!!

Nice meeting you finally. I made a pass right before you (guess I didn't leave any water in that lane, lol). As I'm getting my slip, my wife calls me on the cell phone "George ran 9.99 !!" lol.

Awesome dude <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

5.3L heads, 2.02/1.57" valves.

Cam is a mechanical roller 25x/26x @ .050, .66x/.66x lift. I still haven't seen a cam card, and I'm not 100% sure of the exact specs...
