If I get my stuff together by then I'll come out.... I know I won't be competitive compared to what you guys are running, but it sounds like fun... I'm hoping for low 12's or high 11's on my stock, high miles engine.

I may have found one. Why do you think I've been absent from posting. And she has two legs instead of four.

and Aaaahhhh, after having a Malamute for so long, whenever I hear (see) the term "Mal", it just automatically makes me think of mine.

Looks as though I will be moving to DP Dry as my main stage, he he, that is if the funds are available. Why, why not. If I am going to over power my car, might as well do it in style. Maybe we can have it done for the dyno next spring. Will be using one of Harris Speed's new controllers (another dry master piece, though works for wet hits also), as they are currently setting a DP Dry up, and we've been wanting to go that route for some time. This along with possibly a progressive controller might allow the vette to get outa the hole without major destruction, maybe. Should prob buy into AAA... Anyway, we've got to do something if we are to keep up with the "Blue Goose", amongst others.

I have my new sigs chosen already: "Fastest NW red Vette to beat a blue ltx at the grudge drags", or "Fastest NW Red vette to loose to a blue ltx at the grudge drags". seems to be a win/win situation either way.

With your recent mods you might be right. But you never know, if I can get the turd to leave above 3k without one legging on the tune it went 128 with you might have your work cut out for ya.

Oh and Ive been doing okay. Between working 60+ hour weeks and buying a house I probably shouldnt have bought, (needs alot of work) time has been at a premium. Good to see Im still somewhat welcome around here. Hopefully I can make it out to one of your get-togethers sometime, been awhile.

At this point, it's unclear whether I'm going to continue racing, I have too many expensive hobbies, and I need to focus on **** I can do year round... Really depends on what happens with my move, and where I end up living next, not to mention that I'm probably gonna change jobs here soon. At any rate, one or more cars may have to go bye bye... and that's gonna be a tough decision.
