Powell chill out bro, he said casters IRS C5, not fastest car. The first pass he had he'll keeping traction and got squirlly but the 2nd pass was straight and clean.
Overall I was a little disappointed in the competition of the day. The best matchup in my opinion were two black Trans Ams that went at it a few times running low 11's- high 10's.

Hey Powell, I'd like a crack at Herbie as well. I'm having some little fuel pump issues currently but that should be taken care of by this coming up week sometime. I'll let you know when my car has all of the bugs worked out and we can do this if you accept...

Big rear axles, 3.73 gears.. has a manual lockup switch.. 3500 convertor
lots of other small crap.. on the big 450 shot.. made.. 830hp.. that's it.. convertor locked.. I saw it run 11.40's.. never saw it run the 10.30's he posted...
His original setup with the ls3 has cam, cnc heads, etc with a 250 shot and it ran high 11's..
Car is a turd... he lies about the Nitrous shot... always does..

Not a great argument there. They have a built LS7 motor in the car. For the price of buying an LS7 block the LSX is not much more. The 1/8th mile times are super impresive to say the least, the race that was going to happen wasnt 1/8th mile, it was 1/4 mile. I will anxiously await for the Dallas car to be repaired and see both cars line up next to each other.

My car still has the stock 3.45's in the rear, it's just fast. We will set up a race when the "real" silver car is finished. To many people think I was there at Sealy and I wasnt.
5.90's, thats about 3 tenths quicker then Davids car in the 1/8th.

Steven, no offense bro but as OCII and Sam both said they have you all killed in the 1/8th (which they do) and they even said they will be calling you for a match when its done. It's not internet warrior. I think your days are numbered unless Brooks spends another good chunk of change 
Which hey that's business for you and that's what every business owner wants right?
Just don't do it at Sealy pick a track that you know EVERYONE is going to dead hook on. I remember being told Sealy hooked perfect and they go to make a run in Robs car and he almost wrecked it. Then we lined up Matt and he almost did the same...
If I still have some MS109 left I want to meet up with you all and have a shot at that 2010. Make sure you bring a video camera because if Herbie does some how win I want to see the reaction from everyone...
With that being said name a day this week for Freebirds. I've had to get it to-go the last 2 weeks. I don't want to do that again!

Powell, you and your little buds are the PERFECT example of INTERNET WARRIORS.
You see the difference is, when we post up about a car, we actually SHOW up at the race and TAKE home the MONEY time and time again. We never talk out of our *** about what could be done or should be done and NEVER show up to race. That is not us. WE ARE RACERS! win or lose
Now, you and your interenet buddies can type on a computer with the best of them, and talk about how fast this car is and should be, but when its time to let your nuts hang and show up at a race to line up next to someone, yall are no where to be found but at home behind your computer typing. TYPICAL

Interesting you say that Steven...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj6Hzh7NHBc
I didn't seen ANY LMR cars competing at TX2K10, even street cars... I saw you driving Bob's Viper, but that's about it.
I made 10 passes that day and I didn't see any of you all's customers in the next lane.
First "Night Meet" I honestly only drove out there because we had to rig a LOT of things to get the rear wheels to fit and wanted to make sure it could last a drive. Hell I didn't feel comfortable driving home because front runners aren't so easy to stop on. Second night meet I went home early so I could get up in the morning to do some drag racing.
Going back to the Camaro days. I was out at the track PLENTY of times and I DID line up against you and I lost. I blew a head gasket, Landers, etc... can verify but I lost regardless. When Trans Am Dan called me out in his stock motor car we actually came out to the meet and nothing happened.
You always talk about when we go racing this and that. No offense dude it's easy to do when you don't pay for anything... If someone had us build a car and drive it for them; and they cover it if we break it or blow it up. I'd be down to do it any day of the week. The problem is we don't. If I break a halfshaft it cost ME $2200 for a set of Driveshaft Shop ones... If you break a halfshaft in the 2010 it cost the CUSTOMER $XXXX and you MAKE $XXX. I'm not hating on anyone for being able to do that. Hell I wish I could be the driver for some cars, but I never will be more than likely.
There is no keyboard warrioring in there. It's ALL the truth. Correct me if I'm wrong on that last part????
Anyway if you want to do lunch call me. I'll be around the office and we can eat Olive Garden, Freebirds, 5 Guys Hamburgers, whatever. We can set up some races and figure out a day to line up some cars. We will have a few cameras so we can cover excuses, etc.... Plus with multiple cameras there will always be a 2nd video posted
