Where did you get your new front nose? I need a new one also.
Good luck this season.

.We are hoping for track times soon - possibly next weekend. This weekend is our first points race
. Oh well. We are going to spend the weekend buttoning things up. Will only need to finish the 10 point cage and limiters and should be ready for the track. Oh course I have not had it certified yet, so I should last a couple runs before I'm asked to leave

Thanks everyone. Nitrous was a "gas". We have always wanted to try a turbo set-up. The bumper draging crap from last year just pushed the time frame up. -- Remember, broke my good stock engine -- went 408 iron block -- would have needed to add a good size nitrous shot to keep up with the rest, figured to go with the turbos instead.
I just wish we still had the LS1 Tech racing series .
Derek, I would love to visit Florida. Would nice to meet up with a bunch of the guys. I believe Eric (Next) is from your area also. Maybe gas prices will go down

Just thought you might want to bring it and try your luck against the radial cars at Orlando.
I might have room in the garage for a sleeping bag or 2

David,
What else can I say? Even us old nitrous junkies know the power of the dark (turbo) side. 
I got the message this morning about the open house. I think you know why I won't be able to make it
Yes, I'm not too far from Derek. When it hits Winter again for you it will be a good excuse to come down where the tracks run year round.

Eric, Derek. We'll have to see what the summer/fall brings. Crossing my fingers that this summer is NOT like last summer's. The only thing stoping the SS from firing today was a bad cam sensor. Monday!!!

Memorial Day Weekend David,
Great car show a few weeks back in Sioux Falls, chute looks really good can't wait to see it up close. Any chance you will be at Marion Memorial Day weekend? Let me know, I am coming from Lincoln that weekend.

Thanks Derek, that about all you can do - one thing/day at a time.
Eric, thanks. We had a good time, made a bunch of contacts for the shop. IF (big IF) everything goes according to plans, we'll be there. Got to get it running first.

My cable looks exactly like yours does on ebrake side, and it's the same on both ends. What do you have that actually goes through the loop on the chute bag, and how does that piece attatch to the cable?

Tried to find a picture of the 2 ends. One went to the E-brake - had swivel on it. The other end is just a straight metal cable. Just stick the end into the loop. There is another trend on chutes also. There is a good picture of what I am talking about - posted by Noyzee
