I'll be at Bowling Green the weekend before the shootout, but will be at Indy during the shootout. I am sure you will have a great time. Hate to miss it.

Isn't it like $200 or more for the weekend for the uhaul? Your almost better off buying a trailer and selling it when you get back.

Tell you what, heck we will be racing ourselves if there is no more people signing up. So far it looks like about 17 total racers for all of the brackets, Come on, lets make this shoot out as good or better than the past ones....

We'll be there to watch. I'm not even sure if the car will be done due to finding someone to tune it. Heads & cam are done, I just need to pick them up, measure for pushrods, order them and finish assembly. EDIT: and order my rockers.

I'm guessing she, (the wife races it) can get in the N/A class. Granted it's not gonna be fast, but she can pull off some good lights to make it a few rounds and and long as she's having fun, who cares.

I have a 3 Channel ABS 12-bolt Moser Tru-Trac and the Spohn torque arm off of the '94 Convertible that some kids key'd the paint and slashed the top. I'm parting the car out.

I just don't know, My tranny wont be ready until next week some time, then I have to install it, still need to change out the front shocks, change plugs, tune and dial in the meth kit, again the car will have only the miles from last years shootout. The $2000.00 repair bill on the tranny really hurt.I know I can get a fully stock rebuilt T56 for around $1,500 but this is a Viper T56 so....Ouch!
