No new mods planned for me, going to get some tuning done for the spray. I'm holding off on any upgrades, untill stuff breaks.

I think I'm listing the Bogarts on ebay, with no tires & then picking up some different drag wheels.

Santa was good to me, nothing for the car, but I got a nice work bench for the garage & some other goodies.

Nothing happening for me. I was going to do different heads and cam. But instead I bought a newer grand prix gt. Figured having something that gets decent milage and is nice and reliable was more important right now.

lol we were pretty even the last time we raced and i think i was even starting to pull on you andy. but then i had to hit the brakes because a certain red dodge ram was heading right for me. when i get back i want to switch my gears and stall it up and then we will go again. i wont put anything else on my car other than that and we will see who wins.

Sounds good Dave. I honestly don't think my car is much faster now than it was before the cam. We will see what is wrong when Rodney and I tear it down this spring, right Rodney? Haha.

I'm hoping to get some MT's for the 16" wheels I bought for the strip, 4:10's, and a tune before the summer hopefully, but we'll see how that goes. Having a College budget really sucks sometimes.

Andy, we can tear it down man, thats cool I guess. Didnt figure you would be waiting that long, considering you have a good 3 months here where you cant drive it :-) Perfect time to tear into it.

I have no place to tear it down at Rodney otherwise I would be doing that. Don't think my Dad would let me do it at home. That and the garage isn't heated.

Yeah Dave, we need to get our races on video. Hopefully I can get things figured out with my car this winter. It should run better than it does.

I saw your car run a few times. You weren't doing too bad considering the terrible track prep. Well, I guess there wasn't any track prep.

There was a little.. I had to do a burnout on the bare concrete and then I hooked on my blip. Then I staged and was fucked from the get go. I spun all the way through second

What was wrong with your car? I saw you guys trying to start it by pushing it but why wouldn't it stay running?
