The best was the 20 pages of chitown saying ruthless safe-races even though the guy you raced was just a friend from Orland. He called us all up and asked if we wanted to see a race.

Fastest my car has ever been:

13.38 @ 104 w/a 2.03 60ft, A4, full weight, bone stock, full tank of gas.

I've got some things done to it this year, so it might be alittle faster than that.

I may have a race car, but I still drive it on the street all of the time and get about 18mpg city. It will have spindle mount wheels this year, but I will STILL drive it on the street unless I bend a wheel on a pothole. I don't see that happening though considering IL has immaculate roads...

That is pretty good for bone stock. I know you picked up the drag wheels and I'm sure a converter and a few boltons. I'm assuming you are going to run the 12.0 index in NMCA so we can work something out when I see the car. I should be at 41 starting in March.

Thats was at 41 in july on a 80+ day on bfg kdw's. Didn't touch a thing when I got to the track.

No converter or gear yet. I've got a lid, bellow, KN, the draglites, 28x9 et drags, lca's, panhard, and a driveshaft loop. I'm going to be redoing the exhaust before I get anymore bolt ons.
