God I hope you can beat Walt and his crew!!!

i agree with buick. it would be nice to have someone shut them up for once. no offense, but you will have to be DAMN quick to pull it off man. im thinking about spraying my car just so i can beat jeremy and force him to put the "hawk pride" sign back up. lol

With all the crap I've got planned for the car when I do it I'll be an easy 8 second street car. I'm wanting 1200rwhp when I do the turbo's so I'll be on race gas. Oh I also want to put the car on a diet. I just need to get a kuwait/iraq jig for a few months.

You should come out and meet us, even if you don't bring the car.

I can't wait to see this motor, are you building it yourself? or do you have a guy/shop doing the work?

I did come out. This motor I'm wanting is why I won't spend any money on the car now. I'll have atl. perf. build it. Their the ones that built hunter02ss's car. Rumor is I might get the trip I'm wanting sooner than I thought. After all the work that was done on the 97 I figure I've earned the right to pay someone to build this motor and whole car for that matter. I'm going to tell you right now there are no 8 sec street cars in columbus. Hell most of the car at the drags won't run an 8 sec pass on a 1/4 mile track. I'm coming out tonight someone give me a call and let me know where your meeting at. I'll bring the laptop and ***** out the 97 abit along with a dyno graph from the only tune so far.

There's one or two 9 sec cars around though. You just have to know were to look for them at. Every once in a while you might see a pure drag car putting around at 3 in the morning or something, doing something crazy like me and Transamkid saw a while back. My dad saw a GN driving around with a parachute on the back about a year or two ago. And I've seen a blue foxbody that ran a low 9 at the track driving around also. Both with full interior and everything. Also, most of the dudes with cars that fast are usually in their 50's and up and only come out once a year or something.

The fastest cars that you will probably find out at the meets are Craig and the dude that BigBuick and Karl were talking about, Walt. And they are fast!! If you come out enough though, I'm sure that you will find someone who is a challenge.

I'd like to see this race between Karl and Josh. Hopefully it doesn't happen at like 2 a.m. like most people around here wait to start racing, lol. I have to go to work in the morning. Maybe if you still want too Karl, I can try to get your buddy in the srt 4 to run you.....

That was awesome last night, I have never seen a street race like that in my life.

Anyone have any word on what happened to the other guy?
