Re: Thunder Shootout: 3,500lb minimum too much? Stefan D, holy crap your car is moving! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> What size motor do you have and what kind of power adder? Was that 9.7 pass on the trans-brake? Cant wait to see your car run at the event!

Re: Thunder Shootout: 3,500lb minimum too much? The car has a TY TECH 396. That pass was on the brake but I shut the car off early almost every pass I ran at NMCA this year because it would sputter in high gear <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> . My best pass so far was 9.70 at 120 but the car went 6.09 at 113 in the 1/8 w/ a 1.40 sixty. The car has bested a 1.34 60 so hopefully I can get it all together. Looking to go 9.50s w/ the NOS tune up on it now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Tim, I'm not into racing other people at the track? What? I race competitively at HRP in the brackets on wednesday night? Do you EVER know what the heck your talking about?
BTW, I only need to add 300 pounds to the pepper to reach 3500 race weight. Gasoline and Olympic weights should do it. I REALLY liked the idea of the weighted tire.

Re: Thunder Shootout: 3,500lb minimum too much? John I dont think Tim was totally outta line.
I havent seen ONE POST about youe ET/MPH since u went 10.66 in -1550DA's...
I know your a drag racer and I respect u a whole lot but lets face it u dont run or talk about your car unless its good news.
3500lbs is the right way to do this EVENT because then u can see what these so called rockets really run at a true weight...
If I dont come to this event,I'm a wimp and u guys can break my ***** to no end.

Re: Thunder Shootout: 3,500lb minimum too much? JS then either your as forgetful as TIM or...
Posts about the car after the 10.66 run ...
1. Street Racing post: "The Pepper goes hunting in Pearland"
6/14/02
2. E.T. and MPH post: "Knocking on the door but I cant get in"
2/18/02
3. E.T. and MPH post: "Racing in the Sun!"
02/9/02
4. E.T. and MPH post: "The Pepper tries out RCR"
2/6/02
Is that enough for you?
I didnt think I needed to post everytime I go street racing or to HRP. Dang man, I would be posting all the time.
Why should I post something that is of no concern to most folks... much less my self? Who cares if i place third in the brackets or get knocked out in the first round at Super Chevy? Who would give a rats ***?
When I have something entertaining to post... I will post it. I dont think folks care to read about the "Days of our lives" according to John.
Come colder weather, I will be posting more about the car...
