I was in Bristol visiting family two weeks ago and went to see if they were running and it looked like they hardly ever run. Some around once every 2-3 weeks

Wow, that's a shame, will have to find their website and if there is any kind of schedule for T&T.

I just went out and did a little of my own "Test & Tune" lol. Had it hooked to EFILive and made a all motor run and then a bottle run. lol

On the motor run, from 42.9 mph to 80.5 mph took 4.5 seconds. On the spray run, 43.1 to 80.7 took 3.4 seconds!!! Man that is fun!!! Took a whole second off!

i may come and see you run. My tranny took a dump on me totaly, i was riding around and had it in 4th then it wouldnt come out then after fighting with it for a while got it in neutral. then started all over again after i got it in 2nd it didnt want to come out but that was cool cause i could take off still and i could run bout 45 and that thing was screaming. after my last red light before the house i got it in 5th and rode it out but i'm deffently going to get a wrecker to take it to coggens when i decide to fix it.

This is a trend I'm seeing a lot lately, everyone is breaking their cars. Had a friend break his, then his brothers Z crapped out, then my car, and another friends Z, guess its that time of year.

That sucks dude. That sounds expensive. By the way I would really like to see what your car is capable of. I was at Greer when you ripped off that 7.23. Car took off hard. It wouldnt surprise me if it would go 6's on motor if you had a rearend that would handle a 6000 dump.

Becky, hope to see ya'll next week. Becky not sure I'll have the extra money to pay you though for the gear change update, if not I can get it done later. If it doesn't rain I will be going to Greer tonight to watch, my daughter is wanting to go, I believe she has the fever. If it don't rain ya'll and Steve ride on down and watch.

Shane, I'll call you to remind you. By the way send me a PM with your email address. Shane I'd tell you to come on down but I know it's kind of a long way for a short time.

Talk to ya'll later.
