Eat ****.. Not **** just trying to have some fun as always. I still got the name as soon as i saw it. Only because a few of us know about your dart also. But Warbird would make everyone remember. Sukkoi19 is Jamie, mines obviously kind of self explanitory. Elec87 has got the white T/A with blue stripes and he's also got a bunch of other cars including a newer orange SS.

Is anybody going to Cordova this weekend? Slingshot Nationals are being hosted by the Outlaw Nitro Alliance, and there should be 8-10 Front Engine Top Fuel Dragsters doing battle. Expect to see sub-6 second passes on 12" tires. Look me up if you come. We have a red Chevy Dually with a white gooseneck, and my woodie wagon will be there as well. By the way, there will be MASS quantities of beer at the track when the racing is all over.

Anyone going to Midnight Mayhem?

I'm going to go. I figured since I was going to go and watch anyway I may as well pay the extra seven bucks and be able to race too.

Ill be watching as well. The new rules forbid a tire with less than a 150 DOT rating, so alot of the faster people wont be running Im sure. Looks like it will be an easy win for the old Warbird.

DId anybody show up to the Slingshot Nats? We took runner up, after literally thrashing all day long. There were quite a few people there, and ESPN2 was there as well.

Im hearing the theme song to "Rocky" in the back of my mind now.

On another note, I dont know if Ben is even going to make it. GMPartsdirect is taking forever to send his flex-plate. At this point I think its whats holding everything up.

I was unaware of the LT5 project. How did you get your hands on one of them?

Nice, you still get any thrills out of that thing? Or has the bike spoiled you?
