sometimes we have to depend on others to be smarter then us. Believe me I know I have made some blistering passes in alot of cars that had no cage t-tops out no belts and all. Just lucky nothing has happend. But the first time something does we wont have a track to race at anymore. Ive seen the orange car and its a bad ride for sure. But if he comes to town we got something up or sleeve that will cover him no problem.

No not my vette. And street car ohhh yea what defines a street car now in days LOL, umm no. Not a street car. I dont understand why everyone wants to go from a roll, thats not dragracing to me. If you got a bad *** car you need to learn what it takes to launch it and have fun with it. But Stevens car is a bad *** ride no doudt. The car should be very interesting to see what it does at the track. Big numbers on dyno dont necessarily mean big numbers at track. But it would be cool for us to all get together and hangout and check out the rides.

I cant speak for anyone else, and I honestly haven't raced in some time now but as my car sits, I prefer a roll due to the fact that I don't want to break anything. Im not saying its a cure-all for breaking ****, but a dig sure does make those chances rise. It just wouldn't be convenient for me to break the trans/rear right now so Ill go from a roll and if anyone disagrees then that is fine by me. But I do agree, his shop car shouldn't have a problem going from a dig.
Lastly, I agree with getting together to check out some of these cars that have been around lately. I should have my scavenge pump done tomorrow and wouldnt mind meeting up to check out some nice LS1 rides this weekend

Well all I know is, I was there when Steven had his Vette at Thunder Road. He made two passes, the first was a 10.8x at like low 130s and the second one he let out of it a little bit and went like a mid 11. So if the car is making the kind power that is claimed, even on low boost the numbers are quite low for a Corvette.So I don't know what all the talk is about him getting kicked off after just one pass..... Just saying what I seen.

um..yea lol..4 psi and not tuned for it...just some shake down runs. car still was bucking and kicking bad out of the hole...we are still tuning on it...kindof hard to work on my own car with all these here. shoot i put more time into that TRUCK that went 10.2's than my car. o and the mid 11 run was letting out just past the 1/8 mile BTW....track people told me i COULDNT run past the 1/8 mile in the car.
as for the GTO
yea best it ever did was a 11.0 but you got to remember it was still spinning at the traps most of the time...some times it would hook at the 1000FT. thats why i sold it...100MPH roll racing isnt fun. only thing that ever took it on the street was a fully built ans storked NOS GSXR 1300
LOL say what you want abotu the vette but i will take ANY run any PUMP gas street car you wnat to bring when we finish it out......
just to let you all know...
on 15 PSI the car went (ON THE OLD 408 motor) we only went to the 330 ft mark and let out and ran a 11.01 at 87 MPH, just shake down runs, thats letting out BEFORE THE 1/8 mile and coasting to the finish.....best 1/8 mile run on that setup was 6.4 @ 115 MPH with a 2.0 60 FT. not using the trans break. say what you want but il put 1K up for any run out there on the street when she is finished, that the point of this car. 1200HP will only be low boost on this when we are done!

the GTO never got outran on the street but it spun through the traps at the track...seems like if your spinnin your not winnin..just seemed contradicting to me but i may be wrong.
