I have seen BlownZ in action and he is a good driver. In fact, Bickelfirebird's newly improved ride was somewhat behind him last time they met up going at it. I think the BlownZ was like 2 car length's ahead when they shut down.

Dont you mean an 11.5, with his mods and the fact that Futral does very good work Bickels Camaro is definately a mid 11 car without nitrous, mid 10s on a 100 shot oh but wait he is gonna spray 200.

Maybe in Florida, but up here in the clouds at Bandimere (5800 ft.), you can drop a full second off sea-level times... Try running with a 10K DA sometime...

You're right. Allan built the car to run high 10s in Baton Rouge on the motor, which adjusts to 11.70 or so up here. On a 200 shot, who knows cause the car doesn't have a bar or cage. But it'll beat both of these blown Zs.

Hey man, I had to give you some crap because your car is cooler than mine. Actually both of them are and that is downright mean!!! Your car will definitely be a severe punisher.
It may just beat both of these guys real soon!!
Maybe mine will be half as fast as yours if i am lucky. Hopefully Sunday will give good results!

he was running his huge all motor stall when he cut the 1.3 in the blower car. He just got the blower put on and ran it. That car would have had a 9 in it that day if he had a smaller stall and other things changed in his setup. The car wasn't even dialed in all the way. He only ran like 14 degrees timing, lol.

His car should comfortably do 9's now, with all the accessories and full interior minus rear seats including ac.

Gator I agree but TonyJ won't race me. I've offered to race him to the 1000 ft mark, it won't be difficult to tell who's ahead.

Well, I've outlined my terms and they are pretty simple. 1/4 mile race at a real track. I don't want to give you an advantage any more than you want to give me one. I'm bringing the car to Bandimere Sunday for King Street.

Tony, you know I can't race the full 1/4, so by insisting on it, you're avoiding the match. Let's race to 1000 ft and have Don video it to confirm the winner.

Of course you can run the full quarter. If you use the excuse of the roll-bar requirement, that's just as much an evasion. All you're going to get is a warning if it goes faster than 11.5...
