Haa, that was weird! My brother told me him and dad talked to someone at Harbor Freight today in an SS.
Nope it didn't have my wheels on it, that was with the SS wheels all the way around. The weather was unbelievably good that day. It runs low to mid 12 usually. This car has no weight removed at all. Still has the front and rear bumper supports and all. He also has the black 11 sec TA and the yellow ZO6
Mods are:
Lid/filter
ZO6 intake
ZO6 cam and springs
SLP Ram air
Hooker Lt's
SLP Borlamouth
Vig 3400
3.73's
Weld wheels
So when I tell you your car will go 11's......

You guys better get ready, we'll be racing again real soon. We should all meet up and make a trip to Prescott if they are still open.

I just finished putting the lights up on the house. I managed to neither fall off of the house nor knock off a sheet of shingles. One of the advantages of being of wee stature. I didn't want to double back anywhere, so I mapped it out, then spliced it together in a few places to make it exact. I've got fire insurance, so what the heck.
Camaro Bradl and Helaina just left. She is a great girl. I really liked her. Not even in the same category as his last insignificant other. Anna LOVED her. They played and had lots of fun. It was really cool to see Anna communicating with a deaf person. The sign language we've been practicing for so long paid off BIG TIME. The best part: In American sign language, the sign for shoe is very similar to the sign in German sign language, for LESBIAN, I'm so happy. Also, the American sign language signal for "I don't care" means, "**** it" in German sign language. I think they're pretty much interchangeable here, and that's what I mean most of the time anyway. I'm so happy that I could teach it to Anna before age 3. I'm a "shoe" in for Super-Dad candidate for sure.
Other than those two, much of American vs. German sign language is the same. "poor" is different, and I prefer the German version. The same goes for chocolate.
Another really funny thing, is that when lip reading; "Castle" is easily mistaken for "*******." This made for a lot of fun for me with Anna saying, "let's go play in the castle."
Brad really likes this girl and actually spoke to me about marriage and children.
He was unable to bring me beer, sausage, and sour kraut. Damn.
Thursday night, Josh, Kristy, Andrew, Megan, Jack, Linda, Brad, Helaina, Kate, Anna, and I hung out and cooked burgers. It was a lot of fun.

It's the single plain Victor Jr. intake for LS1s (EFI version) with the low profile edelbrock elbow. Greg came up with the tubing to connect it to the airlid. The MAF is deleted for the Speed density tune.

HRP you don't hear much about it like you used too but it's still a true 1/4 mile track. That's a hellacious drive though
NPR you get 3 things from what the locals down there are saying,either you will break something before you leave,either run a new best or the track personel will **** on you and take your money (we know about that don't we?). I think alot of those guys are going over to SCR or hattisburg to race but if i had my choice hattisburg would be the place with some of the faster street cars being there.
Kennedale is your closest bet with HRP and Hattisburg being the farthest. I have made a few long distance drives to race in january and early febuary before not sure about this one though.
If your serious about it you need to ask in the Texas section about HRP on LS1tech. Ask about SCR and Hattisburg in the southern section on LS2.com and ask about Kennedale in the Texas section on LS2.com. You can probably find out if they are open and what dates and times they will be open.

If ya'll are wanting to just do a get together instead until the tracks reopen we could do a dyno meet like we used to do years ago. I'm not big on dyno racing but it's something different and you get to play with your cars some.
The closest dynojet around is in longview i think? We have a mustang dyno close to Texarkana but he is on the pricey side. East Texas muscle car should have there dynojet rolling by mid January from what the owner told me and gave me some rate quotes on the fee for dyno pulls.
single pulls are $60 for 3 pulls
5 people meet he could do 3 pulls for around $50
10 people meet he can do the pulls for $10 a pull
Something to think about besides driving 4-5 hours to race.
