Those and 02 Silver Camaros w/auto.

I also hear there is a "No Roll Bars Allowed" rule going into effect sometime soon?
(Only NBM Camaros are exempt)

Either way you're fast enough JL. Should make for some great races this year, especially the grudge matches, hehe.

I'm looking forward to OUR first grudge match. I'll make sure I rig your fuel gauge so you run out at half track! He! he!

Well I don't want to rat him out but he takes pleasure in wining based on others misfortunes to brag about how great his driving skills are.

For example, he was driving home the other day and the neighbors kid was riding a big wheel and he challenged him and won and got in the kid's face and sent him home crying.

What a loser!

You know I thought you would have gotten over that already?

I dunno, tektrans was running 10.2 with probably 120 less hp then he has now, he would be right where I am maybe faster, I know Rick bought the 440 ci lsx from eastside, so I dunno what car thats' going in, but that thing n/a will have be covered, PJ was building a 454 lsx so that's got me covered... and that's just the 3 guys I know that will show up.

Even if I can get to 9.5 on a 100 shot like I'm planning on trying to do, I don't really feel spraying more then 150 thtu a TB plate kit is a real good idea, and another 50 hp is just gonna insure it will run 9.5 when it's 100 degrees out. It went 9.6 @3500 lbs in 48 degree air at atco, which means it's a 9.8 any other time. 9.5, really is all it will do.

JL, there are some running low 10's and high 9's but it takes them 3-4 tenths to get outta the hole, hehe and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!
These guys are building big cube power adders to make up for their poor reaction times.

Pinks allout I cut a .067 and a .080 and one .114, on the local slow tree I've done as well as .030 When I actually pay attenion to it and try to cut a lite I'm not terrible. The lack of consistancey is what will get me though, I might get a .080 one run then the next run I'll be focusing on something else and get a .2 Off the pro-tree @ the pinks event, as asoon as I saw any yellow I left, worked pretty good.

That was playing off the footbrake last year, this year just running off the transbrake, it should be easier to get consistant once I learn how the car reacts off the brake (how long does it take to react vs how the car reacted off the footbrake) The ned 9.5 index is pro tree, and every test and tune I go to this year I'm going to write pro-tree on the window for pratice.
