I hope Andy knows I'm doing a little winter smack talking...

But of course you should be afraid of me, I would have put at least five on you last year.

And this year, it will be the same... about five.

I'm not afraid to drive my car sideways at 130mph... just foolish.

I'm not that guy, don't worry. I stand behind the cars. I won't watch a race from the side. Way too dangerous.

Cool, do you go to any of the RSDs? I try to make it to as many of those as possible.
Now the car will be more street friendly, I'll make it out to 75th a little more often.

5 on me last year running a years best of 9.40? You have some bad info! It would have cost you $. BTW, no harm taken. I'm sure we'll meet up this year.

Let me know when you get it running, I want to see it. Andy.

If anyone's interested in welding 2 more cylinderes on an LS1, purchasing Kevlar lined tires, or looking into making admontium frames... he's the guy to talk to

I do want to try to make a few 1000rwhp passes down the street somewhere, I'm sure it will be foolish and crazy, but I want to see how bad. My drag radials showed up yesterday.

I don't think it will be too bad when your rolling. But from a stop it might be a little tricky. Even 550 rwhp is tricky unless the street is prepped perfect. If the car is set up to work at the track it generally doesn't work that good on the street.

How did your car work on the steet last year?

hey Andy/lastls1, i'd like to do a fun race with u this year at the track or something.

i won't be in your league with my small cubes but maybe if you gave me a nice clean hit or something it could at least be a drag race of some kind.

Sure thing! I can't wait for the warm weather to get here. This winter has seemed so long to me and it's not even over!

I spun the length of the street, most of it sideways, and this was on big slicks. Earlier in the summer I spun for a block.

But I'll still beat you. Let's do this on the street when the cars are done.
