Still have not built the motor yet but very close to having all parts in. The 9" has now been shortened and Bogarts are due to arrive on the 21st, all the new tires have arrived. If all goes well I will be running again by the 22nd. Really need to dial in the new suspension.

Custom GT's, similar to the welded RT's. Two sets for the rear (28"slicks/28" ET street radials) and skinnies up front

What kind of times do you guys run? Im coming from Waco with a couple of friends. One has a T/A that should run a mid 10 and the other is a white LTX Camaro that should run in the high 9's.

Note that if they are not properly equipped to run the times stated they will only get one pass in before getting kicked off.

It will be my first time at the track with this new powertrain. I'm praying I just get one run in before they kick me out. I'll be the happest guy they every kicked out of there.

If you get there just after opening at 10:00am you can borrow a helmet from the track but they go fast.
