Quite a few. I think it was a really good turnout. Lost os Modified Stock/Modified Stock PA, and a whole slew of outlaw cars.

I think Harlan had a better ET, but Rick had a higher trap speed. Looks like Harlan has his setup dialed in very well.

The Stenoid Crew is a good bunch of guys, always helping out whenever I need something. Harlans car definetly rolls out. He should have taken the $500 bet cause we were not aware that the turbo was done. Thanks for a good weekend guys, the race is now on to be the first in the 7's.

Well Rick looks like you've got a good shot as those northern guys are stuck in the cold for a couple months

Congrats! Been speaking to Erik at HPE and I am pretty sure he built that motor right? Great work! From the sounds of it, 7's should be attainable. That is one sick LT1!

I think Harlan had the high trap of the event (170.6x?)

You guys have one hell of a car there for sure!! I believe you guys will win that race to the 7's due to the fact we are done for the season. See you guys next year for some bad *** racing. Can't wait. Congrats on the record and hope to see you guys soon.

p.s. If you guys need the number to the transmission guy we use, hit me up. He builds the best powerglides in the nation. Bottom Line
