Wassuppa...

When you gonna slick up and shoot for 140?

I might be a week to two out, I need to get a little stuff done at the Chassis place before I start using the transbrake at the track.

hehe.. I saw MM rape that mustang on the back half of the track... hilarious...
If someone beats you in the 1/8th and you come by them that hard on the second half of the track.... that's handing them an asswhooping. lol

Looks like the car is running well.. That was on pump gas?

Yes he was on pump gas, 93... citgo! He drove straight to the track from work... speakers and everything were still in the car.

He is at the beach right now for the week so I don't know if he has net access.

John I don't see 140+ for either of you being a problem. As long as the cars aren't pigs it shouldn't be a problem.

I expect to go 140 or more next time using the 'brake to build boost faster. I only went 105 1/8th compare to the 110 of others so I think 140-142mph is predictable.

150 is very hard.

Motownmuscle.com has a track rental on 30th (Friday) at Norwalk you might want to check into that if you can make it.

I won't be able to race this weekend the car is getting moved later this week for some safety-related chassiswork so I am going to visit inlaws in Grand Haven MI this weekend.
