Kickass stuff Rob!

Now its time to put the little pullies on and put that thing into True Street Territory <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I hope Mel puts a Bakersfield race in one of them last 2 spots.... as it looks right now I'd have to travel further then I care for , since the car won't be tested and ready for the only Bakersfield race in April.

Default New Best = 6.16@110mph

Well i got a new best of 6.16 @110mph with a 1.32 60' and throwing the blower belt 60' before the finish line, 2nd pass car spun tire about 150' out and still ran 6.18@ almost 113mph......next time out im due for a pulley change and hoping for some 5.90's over 115mph

I really feel the car at a good track in good air will run low 9.50's the way i ran it last night <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
