Rick and I are heading down. Anyone else going?
Weather looks pretty good!

What's the word fellas?

I'd heard that Sonnie went a crazy new best of 9.4@142 in his Cartek built Procharged 346 C5 'vert.

Yeah Sonnie was flyin'.
I did ok, no trans brake yet but played around with shift points etc.
I was stuck running 9.8's (3x) with one 9.7, Julio says I was running a little fat so he leaned it out but I had 4 runs at that point and they took my card after the 4th run.

Alex, I was on the bars all night, NO WAY I can run without them, hehe.

I heard another GTO broke last night. At least it wasn't me again.

I'll reach out to Rick, but, how did Firemutt look? (No times....he'll let us know)

Yeah I think it was an ECS car that broke but I didn't see it.
Rick had to baby it for the liscence runs but had a couple nice launches.

I just found out it was Frank's car (rocksand racing). They twisted a 300m 1000whp axleshaft which just happens to be the same shafts I have.

Then again I'm nowhere near their power levels.

Not bad at all dude, the air was decent but it certainly wasn't great, you will see a 9.5x (at 140? ) or quicker before 2008 comes to a close.

It's a 10.3 car until it runs faster, and if you knew how big I am, I don't think you'd try getting near my car LOL.
