This Sat.? Lassiter Mountain. What do you think will win the drag radial class? I was told that 6.7x won it last year.

I plan on going, but I dont know which class I will run in. Last time I ran drag radial and I just wasnt fast enough. I may run true radial. I just dont know yet. Hopefuly the rain will hold off.

There will be a few fast cars from Jasper coming over and another dude we know from huntsville bringing his 700+ hp atrw lightening if weather permits. There a few strong late model f-bodies around that run mid to upper 6's but they are all down for winter upgrades (ie more cubes) . They'll be ready next time runnin low 6's on drag radials Should be a neat race and supposed to do it once a month is what I hear.... Be ready though, word is some real race cars are coming on big drag radials that may make the required cruise but arent what you'd consider a street car

I've got 7 or 8 cars to tune on the dyno Saturday, but I plan on being finished by 5 or 6pm in enough time to head over to the track to support the truck and a couple of Fbodys that will be there. IF the dyno is going by Saturday, latest word is that the parts will be here Thursday or Friday.. keep your fingers crossed. Do you want me to put you down for one of the spots right after lunch on Saturday?
