Yes, now I remember. I met you once. I havnt met the rest of your crew though. The few LS1 guys I know, I dont think you guys are particularly fond of. I could be wrong though. I try and stay out of that ****.

not to change the subject but i went to the Eddyville meeting for bikes last Saturday and to discuss how to fix our bike class and we got off the subject and we were talking about the "Small tire challenge" and how big of a hit it has been last year and they've changed it now to Saturdays instead of Fridays so more people can make it down to attend easier than to rush on a Friday night to make it on time. Sure is fun to watch with out a doubt! I told Gerald (1/3 owner) they ought to make it an index heads up class so for example 5.50's, 7.00's and/or 8.00's street cars could run in a heads up class cuz i know there are alot more 7.00-8.50 small tire street cars out there than the 5.70's cars they've been getting and it'd spark more interest in it but i doubt they do that..... and i see that they are going to run more autocross's now as well ......btw this was just an fyi if anyone cares

Agreed! If they are going to do the small tire deal on Saturday, they should add something that you don't need a blazing fast car to compete in. I think I could make my car go 7.0s.

Did it on a 100 shot, the last pass of '08 on a non-n2o tune & not spraying 1st gear. 1/8- 7.085 @ 97.95 
I'd like to be able to get closer on the motor though...We'll see, I have a little bit to figure out what I want to do with it.

I agree w/ 01FbTaWs6, 7.0's or quicker for you Unstang.... I know my mine will run quicker when i figure out how to drive lol, mine is pretty tricky to shift on the strip for some reason. Now that i have my car i wish it had an auto so i don't have to dick with shifting, oh well keeps me busy.......is it spring yet so we can go beat on our cars???
