Chris, It was good to finally meet you and start the process of putting the old BS to bed. Firebird ran 7.35 on Friday night (1900 DA) but broke out. I saw you under your car a lot so I assume things were not right.

We've got stealth running mid 9s up here (8000 DA), but will have to race off the mountain to make the 8-second club.

What ever happened to all those people that where talking about how easy it was going to be to run 7's this year once there car gets to the track? I remember many people talkin with there chest pumped out figuring even 8's should be a walk in the park or should I say right of the trailer.

I guess those people must have put there cars back in the garage to collect some more horsepower after bringing the car to track for the first time this year and actually seeing how tuff it really is to run those times.

now now dad.... the blower DIDNT crash... something got sucked INTO the blower and it still lived... parts of the impellar were missing, yet the blower never touched down. Talk about a reliable product.

We sucked part of the band that holds the filter on the blower through our YS last fall, which ruined the impellars, but it kept making power.
