Default NED racers

I just wanted to take a second and say whats up.I have been lurking around here for a couple of years .I have been a huge fan of ls1 f bodies since they came out.Hoping to one day have one to play with.My currrent project is a 25-2 hugger orange ss (eastsides outlaw car).The car will have a 585 bbc with one stage and a powerglide.I am hoping to make some test hits about the middle of may.It will probably be a reserved test and tune so the track prep is good but I might just head up on a regular saturday. just to get the liscence process rolling.

I am not to good with this computer stuff so I am not really sure how to post pics.There are pics of the car on eastsides site.Most of this year will be a learning curve but once everything feels good I may give quickstreets outlaw class a try.My motor made 1170 hp and with a fogger on top of that It should run pretty good.

I bought the promod style one.I cant wait to get it running.You will have to let me know the next time you guys are hangin out Ill bring the beer.My girl lives in Saugus so thats usually where I stay.I remember your car when you had the turbos.I had a 81 malibu street car then I would run on saturday t&t.

I lurk around northeastdragracing too but I actually have a couple posts over there too.When the tickets got to bad I took my malibu off the street and ran it in mod on points days.I know its not heads up but I still had a good time.The last race of 2005 I made it to the final 4 cars out of 150 cars and broke out 9.92 0n a 10.00 dial.

I had an 81 malibu it was arctic white nothing special but ran very good for what it was.My best pass was a 9.76 at 137 not to bad for a 3200 lb small block streetcar all motor.If you guys are gonna be around tonight let me know Ill stop by for a couple of cold ones and a little bench racing.Bruce did an awesome job on the car I was talking to him the other day about a couple of odds and ends i need finished.I figured he would know the car better than anyone so I might take it back to him.I need the shutes mounted, front mounted fuel cell and wheelie bars.then I can finish plumbing and wiring and fire her up.Once I am comfortable with the car maybe you can give me some advise on a tuneup for the fogger I am new to nitrous.
