I forgot to post this when I saw it. Has anyone else seen the red LT1 Z that has spinners on it? I saw that thing at walmart. One of his low pros must have went flat because he was running one of the stock wheels on the rear driver's side. Now that looked cool. Wonder if they are the same diameter. I doubt he/she gives a **** about the posi anyway.

I've only seen the one with spinners once. I'm pretty sure I've seen the other red LT1 Z your talking about. He parks it pretty far out, not the one with spinners. I've seen it in the same spot a few times.

Perhaps, we'll see. I hear it's supposed to be pretty hot and pro football season is getting started. I need to get the car down the track a few times anyway, so maybe. No promises.

Anyone can run. It's heads up though so reaction times are always poor. I should be there.

OK, no racing for me. The rear end is being a bitch. I have given up for the night in fear of hurting others. If you would have driven by my garage you would have heard horrible things. I will try to make it to the next Friday Fun Night though. Jesse

Hey guys...side question here since I haven't been to the quad cities in awhile. Is the casino boat up there right now or does it move somewhere else for the summer? I think it's the davenport river boat?

Damn what a shitty day. Three 5.0Ls went down, I blow a H/G, Nick blows a H/G or valve or whatever, Dave cooks a H/G. It was just way to hot. On a side note the car did go 120 mph with a crappy run.
