Pump gas is the only gas I run. My car has a hood on it. It weighs about what the stock one did. The car goes ~3500 with me in it. Don't lump me in with the gutted race cars.
Do we really want to do this? I'm not Robert.

Gutted? MY CAR?! Are you on drugs Eric....3900lbs last time it hit the scales without me in it. And I aint small.
But c'mon, it's for MONEY! Show us what you got. Unless your skert....
As for pump gas, I dunno, I kinda like my new engine. I'm surprised you can get away with it on twins.

It's the same hood I have had on the car for eight years. That picture was taken weekend before last right before going out for a drive.....in the snow (Notice the toothy grin?). Like I said, a real street car.

Yeah, like that will happen. I just want to stay in the top 5, and that won't be easy this year! 
Have you noticed the threads about Ryan's car Jason? Got the baby-diaper thing hangin off the ***-end this year. We're all thinkin a chute means he's planning to run 8s.
And then you have Aaron's car that WILL run 8s on juice. Plus there is Ellis who always has something up his sleeve. And Don who has done a complete make-over of the Duece. Then there are a couple of Vette guys that have stepped it up. And a few more that could contend (Hockey Stripes, a GTO, my old car ).
You left too soon buddy! It's starting to get interesting up here. Should be 5+ cars running 10s & 5 more running singles....
Stop by Todd. The car isn't finished & the garage is a mess, but I can make some noise for you.

i have seen alot of cars that have chutes but that don't make them fast, more of a requirement....but in ryans case i would expect to see some fast times if it will hook up
As for Arons car he seems to think a little like me, lighter the better
And Elis i doubt his bass boat will even make a pass
j/kHopefully my new toy will hit the track in two weeks for some shake down runs......but it's a stripped down big tire car...well 10.5 so not that big

Yeah back halving a car guts it pretty good
But i still have a trunk 
I really don't care what you think of my car. DMV says it is street legal. 
I just like having a little fun on here. So when are you going to drive your car to the track Eric? I trailer mine becuase I can, it does get more track time then street but C14 is expensive to cruise with. I don't have hair dryers like some of you so pump gas is out of the question.

I guess we'll see what the DET rotation brings. I may be off to make some more money real soon. I need it so my poor little street car can hang with you big timers. That's the problem with making enough extra money to build a fast car. No time to enjoy it. Oh well.

Gutted or tubbed, nitrous or FI, everyone doesn it different & it's all good to me. I just like going fast.
I hope you can make it out at least once to play this year. I want to see what your new setup runs like.
