Hey Eric if you need any help I am sure there is more then just me that would be willing to come up and lend a hand or even beer.

BTW I think you got a good Chance of Beating Ryan K anyways. he got married and she is domesticating him!

You got your SFI 25.5 cert yet?

Glad you are back. it has been boring while you were away


I think the biggest thing I want to do is beat on red Corvette's

It will be running shortly. It will be the fastest car ever built in a one car garage in Whidbey Island base housing. No Funnycar spec cage, but I plan to stack up some fence posts and tie a trashbag to the back for safety.

Make sure to use a roof rack for the cross bar:

Also to save weight, weld as little as possible:

You have to show me two things before we can line up:

1) a competition license (so I know you have a better chance of keeping it off the wall)
2) That you can actually run that thing down the track more then once during the year. (oh yeah and get it to hook) The bottle will stay out of my car until it needs hooked up.

I think that can be arranged, but be warned big Poo has a high flow Cat and 4.10's...

Man I am busy in the summer. If Ryans rearend works out for me, (and I fairly certain it will) I will make it a few more times this year. Just hate running on the 10 bolt.

You probably won't need to fill the bottle up for me Aaron, but I'm hoping I can stay close to your car "all motor"....

There is one more grudge race that needs to happen - Rokko vs Dr Evyl

And I heard rumors of some nasty Stang getting built up yonder. Can't wait to see it Eric!
