I'll be at Hooters Sat night!

Here is a pic from Sunday @ KCIR, pretty sure this was a 1.53 60' time. Still working on the videos...

You know me Charlie. I like my big cars, but the '96 Impala SS is a little dated for me. So, I now have a pretty rare Marauder that I plan to keep a long time (#852 of 987 Silver Birch Marauders, #2703 or 3213 '04 Marauders).

And, while I like the Mustang, I don't think I will be parking one of those in the garage with the Marauder. And after having close to a dozen F-bodies before I am ready to try something else and I want a convertible. So a C5 Corvette it will be.

Do you have the MICC show at DMACC scheduled yet for this year?

That looks like Tim Tosto's car, the same car that was on pinks last year. I think it had the LS-1 6-speed record around mid 9's in the 1/4

Pretty sure its the same car.

That is actually a different car, it belongs to a guy from Pirate motorsports down there. It has a carbed LSX motor with a distributor in it. He drove it to the track & ran 9.95 on Hoosier drag radials.

I hate getting the car dirty (I know I know). The other day I took it to work, left the windows down abit, and it completelly covered the interior in dust, along with the outside of the car. I was PISSED!

Dad might be selling his stock rims off his 08 C6...what do you guys suppose these are worth? They are the split spoke cometition gray aluminum wheels and they have about 500 miles on them. Fronts are 18x8.5 and rears are 19x10. Tires not included.

without the tires or sensors you'll probably get something in the $600-700 range.

So I switched the car over to race trim(switched from 18's to Bogarts w/drag radials...lol)and realize one of my new tires is still losing air so I head out to the gas station to pump it up. On the way I see this guy in a Tiburon. I drive by him at idle while he's stuck behind some cars(I didn't start anything because I felt he wasn't worth picking on)Then further down the road a car is turning in front of me so I slow down as I do Mr. Tiburon comes by and drops the hammer(actually lit them up at about 20 mph). Well, low and behold the next light turns red and we end up at the front of the line side by side I turn and say "do you really want some of this" He says "oh no" I say "Don't rev on me cuz I'll show you whats up from a dig or roll" He says"oh no I don't want to race"

Lol...Can you tell I've been sitting around to long all winter? I'm dying to race and ready to go.
