Rick's car is in pieces. Not really sure if he will make a come back. I really wish he would. Chris Sykora (Z8's) should have a 7 sec ride with his twin turbo setup.

Damn boys, this ball's really rollin! Glad to see it.
BTW, Tony, only thing that could stop me from showin up will be an act of god, or something blown up. But I promise to be nice to the car untill the event. I'll only be running 1/8 mile till then to be easy on parts.

Draggin the whole damn family out, we'll even have the new baby girl out there if we have to. She'll be 5 months old and at her first drag racing event

I still plan on coming out but I may be pushing it with getting the car finished. I will be able to get the chassis sticker but the competion license may be pushing it.

The Licence was a breeze. We did mine in a few hours. Just make sure the car is ready and running the number. We ran two passes at a time hot lapping with a cool down in between the next two. I had my temp Licence two days later.

BTW My car was not ready so a friend let my borrow his.

Just the first weekend in April the local track has a spring clean up. Then the secind weekend is the swap meet and chassis certifications. Luckily this is usally two days weather permitting.

I don't think anyone would trust me with there car either. You have some good friends there.

Thank you. Arron is a good friend.

BTW if your chassis builder is good he can get the cage cert before you pick the car up. that is what I did

Our tracks start TnTs in feb and I hope to get one or two under my belt before heading out to the race

Good luck! Let us all know if we can help!

Looks good, glad we're making progress with this...

I know the site has just been put up but can I suggest adding the details we already know like date and location so we can start passing this around to other sites...

The site needs a countdown clock LMAO

Ok guys/gals Kyle, Scott, and myself worked on the registration part for about 3 hours tonight. We tested it over and over and it seems to be working fine. Kyle will clean up a few more things on it tonight and everyone should be able to register tomorrow when it is enabled.. Keep watching the site for updates.
