Damn Ellis I wish I could help but between this house fiasco and 12+ hour days I just dont think I will be able to. Even if I found time to get out there I doubt me curled up in the corner of your shop sleeping would be very beneficial. But good luck, I would love to see go out and kick some ***.

7-9 Second cars. Power adders and cubic inches Heads up.

FULL NHRA rules WILL apply and you MUST be licenced for the time you run or you will be ejected.

BTW NO LS based motors need apply

I would offer to hold the fire extinguisher but you might not ever touch my car again if I did.

Seriously though, I am afraid I would not be much help except to bring (and drink) some Mike's.

Yes obviously not being legal will get you kicked off the track. I have raced a few times...

What index are we talking about about to be competitive? 7.XX? Is it a bracket class? And how are you going to be competitive with a 10.doh car?
