Right If the car I saw was Raj's, then you weigh in at 1000 pounds. Last time I saw you around three weeks ago, you didn't look 145 pounds soaking wet.

87 I can believe, if you were dieseling all the way down track.

Who are you sand-bagging?

BTW- Hutch is great, but I've had over a half dozen 8, 9- and 10 second cars set up with a Joel trans, and not one has gone out. That includes 4L60s, C4s, TH400s (Chevy, and BOP), plus a couple of 'glides. If you want a trans that doesn't go south, call Joel and drop my name. He WILL take care of you.

Hey Coleman, is this you on the right?? Just curious for the next time you come quietly sneaking around our pit area like you did that "few weeks ago".

LOL, it was a joke for PSJ. Since he's always concerned with what fuel people are running. As if it makes a difference on the race track.

Not sure who built the trans in the mustang, but my stock cased glide from Hutch is holding up well to the abuse i've tossed at it. And I'm sure it will continue to do so.

When you're ready to go fast, give Joe a call. I'm sure he'll more than handle your needs
