I was about to approach you and ask if you posted about finding a rusted frame rail in the tahoe (pretty sure I remember you posting that once) that kept you from feeling comfortable towing.....

I was the dark guy with the NEON yellow hoodie on...
Hole in the frame is still there, its bad. I was very nervous and cautious driving it out there with 5000 lbs behind me, but had no issues.

That first video is when me and Tony raced and I cut my 1.67 60', it almost looks like I MIGHT have gotten air under the left front tire! You can see how I either lifted or hesitated or something after the launch and you can hear my epic fail shifting to 4th gear

Yea I am NOT going to do that again until its fixed, but I really really wanted to go to the event and 2 1/2 hours with no heat, 4.33 gears and a bullet muffler would have probably caused a divorce.

Great job everyone. I had a great time watching. Some really impressive cars for sure. Made me wish I had my old 396 LT1 there to race! Justin's car (we are from RI) is a 383 LE2 H/C with alot of compression. Thats it. No suspension, no gear, and barely any weight reduction. The way that thing pulls is ridiculous. Probably top 3 fastest cars ive ever ridden in.

I think the the BLOCK and where he got it from is why its SO strong.... the rest of the stuff is just a bonus.
