Oh, and Mark (Blk Z06) and his dad (yellow C5) both have mean C5's which the limits haven't been seen yet... Can't forget Rey also if he ever comes back out to the track. All have at least low 11's in them. Some competition for the F-bod guys for sure. The big boys should be coming out soon.
Jon, ya ready to try the ET Streets, much more consistant low 1.6's and gobs of 1.5's, and under the right conditions our cars can do 1.4x on them. it's a little looser ride, but... What was your time from last year? can you post your slip times for comparison?
Chris I see ya got a 1.7x on your last run, wish I would have stayed longer. Did you do a slightly heavier burn out? Check Ranger's launch write up for some very good specific advice on the BFGs, I've used it and works real good. Getting loose on the big end is fun, not.
Man I wanted to be racing so bad, but oh well, in due time. I think Cory expanded his muffler on his beast, needs to be able to pump more air through system easier it sounds like.

I'll be out there at least once to Race, and a couple more just to watch, but I should be good for mid-11s. As for the top 10 with that, well at least til' Mark(low-10s), Ellis(very low-10s), Ryan(9s), Don(low-10s), and You(9s) get back to the track.

The list will grow as needed. Everyone who posts a legit time will be listed. My first season(2005) I think I was the last on the list, just behind Corey's Hummer.
BTW, does anyone actually have the final 2005 list?
Edit: I am able pull it up on search with a "top 10" search of the NW section, but the actual list is removed!!!

IIRC 2005 was the first year that the list included everyone's times. When I first joined the 2004 list was only the top 10.
I even remember asking, as a newb, why no GTOs were in the list and someone remarked that none of the GTO owners had the ***** to mod their cars enough to make the top 10. Of course, back then to make the top 10 only took a high 12.
How things change...for the better IMO.

As of 8/26/05, you still had no roll bar when you ran your 11.042
This is from 9/23/05:
And that was the last day you made the track in 2005....
and here on 10/16/05 you are talking about buying a roll bar...
So, I am pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about.... 
Oh, and I posted this in here because so many people were asking about it several posts up...

I was warned, but did not get the boot, I said I wouldn't run my 2nd stage again, so later I got a 1.649 60'er and 11.507 @ 122.12 mph, whew no boot still.
So, do I get to add my new best to the NW top ten list? Most say it was legal run because I didn't get the boot.
As usual, lots of great people, and a great time was had by all, except the guy in the GTO who hit the right wall then bounced over and hit left wall.

Now if I could have pulled a 1.550 (I have better), a 11.074 could have been, maybe and if 2nd stage was on it was a 10.xx for sure. Speculation I know, but you gota have goals. Crappy track prep for sure, at least for the higher HP cars. Had fun though as usuall and good people.
Sorry you had problems Rey. It can be dishearting. Maybe Sunday or next Friday?

Nice pics in your web, Mark. Can we get away with just through bolting vette bars, as they have a kit for that, and one that has plates welded to frame? I think it says both are NHRA legal? Anyone know this for sure?

Well your still on the wrong thread as no one is talking about this in this thread.
You changed the rules and removed the legal run part in '05, and thus allowed all runs. Read your posted rules. You may have had a secret top 10 legal list but it was not the posted list in the '05 thread, as there was only one list and I copied it and it's there for all the world to see. Also, I ran after the 23rd, and would be glad to post a slip, now who dosen't know what they are talking about? I might point out to those reading along, I did top Ryan in the #1 spot for approx 36 hours; How do ya like them apples fast boy. Know go to the correct thread where I posted the '05 list, so everyone can see where this came from.

This is the statement that I am saying you have no idea what you are talking about...
