Congrats on the cover, I remember Mike Brown, PSJ, and me were all gonna try to make it to that closed track event in Atlanta but you were the only one that went. If Mike would have went I think there might have been a yellow TA on the cover but hes getting his own attention right now anyway.

I agree on Mikes car if he went

But Onfire's car was there also and will be featured soon. It was a very nice event, try to make it next time if you can Dave.

Awesome KP, time to go out and buy that issue! Stop with the negative thinking too, if you keep thinking like that something will happen....todays thought, "it'll handle 9.60's with a lil more boost" "
Congrats

I went to a Books a Million and the they have them but there was only a couple copies left, I think they are a national chan. I wanted to get a couple more copies but B&N didnt have it. Going to try wal-mart I guess.

Thanks guys, its been a good year for the car. Took a little under 3 months to build with no parts delays at home, runs better then expected, won an LS1tech bracket event on a 95 degree day, will be in HPP magazine twice, ran 9.70s on DOT tires @ 1000 DA, still drives fine and about the only parts that needed to be replaced after 100 passes (besides 2 sets of slicks) is a burned out LH turn signal bulb - hard to beat that.

Only thing that scares me about so much good luck is there is bound to be some bad luck coming..
Reason I asked because there was one that had the same setup as yours.

I never really planned or wanted to be on the cover of anything - just happened to be at the right place at the right time I guess. I dont really get too excited over stuff like that (I'd rather be making passes at the track) but its pretty cool, I knew there was going to be a feature on the car but never expected it to be on the cover..
