I just don't know, I was ill for a few days, been working a hell of a lot of hours at work, I got the tranny in, need to have the new yoke pressed onto the drive shaft, Install the front coil overs, put the interior together, test the meth kit and tune. this weekend will be the deciding factor, I still need to tune some the the Texas boys so I might have to dedicate time for that...

getting close guys . . . . . just a few more days . . .

I will be there hanging out with the croud and meeting some of you that are interested in meeting me for the first time and of coarse seeing some of you guys again.

We will be leaving here early (6 AM or so) on Fri morning and heading that way. I am guessing about a 12 hr drive but have not actually checked for sure yet.

Will be coming along with a freind/customer and his turbo LT powered 98 GMC truck. Should be able to make it interesting for Tony S. Both are well aware of each other and know what each other run down here in Texas.

Regardless of win/lose it will be agood time had by all that attend the shootout.

Ill see you guys in about 11 days.

if the event is held in Feb/March when business is BOOMING I would give 50%$ off on a set of LE2 heads but this time of year I am like everyone else with a wife and kids . . . . . damn near on food stamps, LOL.

Nah, it was actually about all I can do to sponsor the event, travel, hotel and make the event while missing work and time with family. Entire deal will cost about $1000 so unfiortunately I will nbot be giving away any free camshafts, LOL.

I will be talking and chatting with anyone around and about the best I can do this time of year wlould be a Goldschlager or Jager-Bomb for the fastest ET of the day (not necesarrily in finals).

Anyone that cam should definiotely come and hang out the night before the race and of coarse after the race as well.

There is more to it than just what goes on at the track (and that is a BAD *** track!!!!!!).

I just couldn't get the car together to run extreme street. I really felt that I would have something to bring to the table this year in this air conditioned street car lol but it just didn't work out that way. Car is still in pieces.

I just got laid off work and now have the time to be able to at least come hang out at the shoot out. Just comes down to affording to go now..

I believe this turbo truck is the one in the latest issue of GMHTP. Should be a great Outlaw class!



I wish Stefan would show up and run but he is going to a different race. If he runs x275 he's going to be going up against a field of high 4 second cars (1/8th). I hope he's been out testing and tuning. Haven't heard boo from him or Sikora or Ellis.

I'm going to be signing up for the Outlaw class, but if Z8 pulls a high 7 I'm going to be watching from the trailer like the rest of the class.
Got a few runs last Friday.

nah, pay the entry fee and line up. You may not fgace him first round and even if so, a red light is all it takes. Run YOUR game and see what happens. Been there - done that. The Fastest car is not always the class winner.

Lots of show to enjoy even if eliminates but still, run YOUR game and let the match up place you against a faster car and let THEM beat you on the tree. Until then, you keep on advancing.

One red light or car breaking is all it takes to win a round against a faster car. Against a slower car you just gotta handle the tree and not break. Nothing to it but do do it.

My car will be there but wont be making full passes, just havn't had any time so far to even drive the thing.Dont want to push it without a few shakedown passes first.
I talked with Stefan last week and he cant make the Yellowbullet race either he has as work comitment but Tyree may show up at the shootout with his car for him.

Sad to hear, I was really looking forward to finally seeing some footage of your car running again.

I don't have room to talk, I thought for sure I would be ready for this years shootout but I'm sitting on a finally completed motor with no car to go in since I still need to do a ton of supporting crap.

I keep getting distracted by other hobbies and let the car sit for achingly long periods of time before I work on it for a few weeks then stop again .
