Just curious, will the Ohio Boys be at Bradenton, FL the weekend of Jan 25-27 for the US Street Nationals? I'm going to be in Florida that weekend and was planning on heading to the track on Sunday again this year.

I think it's bagged for the year, new set-ups won't be able to be completed by then. Unfortunately a trip like that requires a lot of prep and with new combo's, limited time, and no tracks open to test it makes it difficult to pull together.

Oh well I remembered reading something about it a month or so ago in a post about resleeved blocks. It went something likle this...

1,000 RWHP in a resleeved LSx is a ticking time bomb, period. If anyone thinks any different, they're a MORON.

A GM LSX iron block is a different story.

Tell you what, Come to Bradenton in January and watch us MORONS run. Then come to Orlando in October and see how our "time bomb" is still doing. If all is well and were still running faster than you... Come back on here and tell everybody who the real MORON is. Deal?
So yes....or no?

Mark come on down to Fla. You guys can crash here in Orlando and then we can drive over. I'm gonna try to get that Friday off and spend the whole weekend out there. I'm gonna introduce my son to drag racing lol.

So yes....or no?

Not sure what your looking for...but I'm sworn to secrecy anyway.

As for that previous post...That's a good one...I must have missed that exchange.

The only thing I have to say is that, Mike Brown has been one of the most recognized builder-tuners on the board. That is because he and Steve (Turley) repeatedly have one of the fastest cars in the country. The reason for that is reliablity and consistency. You can't tune into the seven's with two different cars without motors/combos that last for a whole season. They have put way more passes than most people on a given combo. So far (now that we know how the blocks from this past year look) the original Iron block from a couple seasons ago had the most threatening damage and it still survived 200 or so passes. The block from this year (which went 7.92 @ 17X) in Mike's car looked perfect...and it was resleeved. Did I mention he does this work in a two car detached garage in his backyard!

Sorry for the short rant....now let's get back to Christmas spirit...this post was started in hopes to poke a little fun at the guys I run with. BTW...I'm pulling for Global Warming so we too can race year round in the Midwest .

That sounds like fun...unfortunately we are all tied up trying to get ready for Spring. Tom and I will finally (after 3 years) have our car done, and as stated Mike and Steve are busy with thiers as well. Seems like a long time before we can weekend drag race but it goes by quick (sometimes too quick) when your busy with builds/rebuilds.

What happened to your SS?

Unfortunately I needed some money in a short amount of time and had to sell her. I'm debating on getting another 4th gen, waiting for the 5th gen, or build a 1st gen (they are hella expensive)

I just made one of those elf things with me and my son lol
