...couldn't remember the guys name though...
Jimbob(non-running bench racer from hell

) just look below for my horse power secrets..... I almost got to race Eric's Stang. I thought the guy pointed at him & me, but it turned out to be the stang next to him. I sent him home. Would have been intersting to see if Eric would have layed off against me. He had a 12.8 dial I think, and I know he ran a 12.3. I think I ran a 12.27 that round. Next time maybe....
He Elllis, what would you charge me to pull the Yank out & send it back for an honest 3200 re-stall? This 2400 **** aint cutting it. I'll even help this time if you want. I gotta do something. Can't have the Hockey Stripe car running faster than me! Happy now Moira?

Once I get you into my "long term" memory bank you're good to go. My "short term" memory bank has been missing since my college days lol !Nice to have met you. I hope you had a good time and hope to see you out there more often. Maybe we'll get a chance to line up sometime ? I never race for more than a beer so hopefully that's enough

Yea that's funny but bracket racing at it's best!
The Dark Shadow Grey Cobra you beat ended up winning the All Ford Drags interestingly enough with a trophy and $403 cash.

I saw that the car he ran against (that built up Falcon) redlighted and gave him the race.

Nothing wrong with those times. Like me, it looks like you just need a better 60 ft and your there You, Mark, Jason, and I are all within about a tenth of one another ?! I forsee some great matchups

She should be good for 11.7-11.9 like she sits but I just haven't got her there yet. My 2nd best was a 12.169 with a 1.82 @ 116.92 so I reckon I was a bit inconsistent. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed.
I would have raced you again if you wanted. All you gotta do is say the word. I'm glad they let you race and I had a great time.

I dropped @ five grand with hard throttle and promply blew the Mickeys off completely. I guess I need some Hoosiers for that kinda launch.
Trapping 117 you should be running 11.7s Charlie. What size / brand DR are you running? How long are you doing your burnout for?
And if I can sneak in another tweak or two I just might be door to door with you again Bill. Provided they work.....for the positive.
