Well you have more than headers buddy. I am talking about SI header cars as I am SI. Also more reason to go auto.

Let me rephrase...Most header cars. And I also mentioned not cars that are arround 3000RW as I am at 3500. I have yet to be at the track were a header car ran faster than me, or ran into someone on the street with headers that was faster. I do not race much so I do not have a huge amount to compare with, but with the small sample I do have, I feel I can make this statement. I am debating going to auto in the spring (as well as some other stuff over the winter). If I do go auto (since I can not get this thing out of the hole with the M6) I would be glad to run you (as Autos with TCs consistantly run faster than M6s).

Thats why you need 4.88's. Gotta get into the powerband immediately like an auto does.

Nice pic Octane. The fronts be skimmin. Looks good.

Yeah, I am going to Morcocco, one way or another. We need a video camera. Anyone gonna bring one?

Tell me more about this MFBA rental. I was planning on going to Byron, but an MFBA event would be better. How do I get to attend this event?

I will be there will my digital camera, taking pics and some short videos. DooD will likely be there with his digital camera and camcorder doing the same, so between the two of us we should be able to get some nice footage.

Come to US41 on October 22 with $30 and we'll tech you in and you can race, that's all there is to it!

I am serious about getting some good footage. Take videos from my truck. Get a head start and watch them flyby.

Sounds tasty. It's too bad I don't go to the track.

Do you bring it on the street?

Cool. I think I will spend the same amount and join the MFBA as I have been wanting to for years.

Hit up the MFBA message board http://ubb.mfba.org
If you become a paid member before October 20, you can race for free.

I drive it on the street, but I sure as hell don't street race.
