We're going to need them for sure. Right now I'm on my way to buy some beer to repay Madman for welding up my oil pan. Bob

When the came back down to Earth yesterday the front tires rubbed the bottom sides of the fenders, Ted said it felt like he drove off a 10 foot dock. Apparently he has done that before... lol
Hopefully we'll get it fixed to where we can run the index class tomorrow. At this point we'd just like to get some more runs in and try to squeak out a high eight second pass. Bob

So Bob, how do you like the new M9 and TA?? any noise from the gears?? By the way CONGRATS on some fine runs...GOOD LUCK on hitting the 8's.

Wow, that orange camaro is running HARD. **** the TH400 stuff, the glide is where its at. Enough power and a Glide is streetable like a TH400 (I would imagine). 8.90's would be sweet at about 155-158 mph. Nice job for being kind of "thrown together" at the last minute!
no not wheelie bars scott, this bars go down by the k-member area to keep you from trashing the oil pan on a hard launch.

The new Moser M9 is much lighter and their new torque arm is impressive. A 1.29 60 ft on a drag radial is damn fast. The gears seem quiet, but then again the exhaust is loud so it's hard to say. Thanks Darren. Bob

Thanks Scott, hopefully we got the front suspension straightened out last night to where we can get some good runs on it today. Bob

Hey Scott, saw you driving into Meijer the other day...actually I was behind you. The car sounds really good and looks good as well...but man is that Turbo hanging low....made me cringe everytime you went over a bump. Reminded me of the old SLP header days....haha.

Haaaaaaaaa....its not really that low Darren. Being under the rear axle, something would have to be laying in the road to hit it. Hey Bob...Looks like those 325 Mickeys really do some hooking up

Yeah guess your right probably not so much the turbo but the piping to it seemed to hang a little low....looks can be deceiving sometimes.

Looked like a lot of fun and a good turnout, I would have loved to have been there if i wasn't on my honeymoon. I plan on coming over to Ken's this weekend though.

It is running well, we're really pleased with it. Hopefully we'll find an eight second pass in it this year still when we get it back from Sema. If not, there's always next year! Bob
