Better get that trap speed up, Mark.

I'll give you a call next week sometime. Build should begin shortly. I'm going to be doing some of it since I have time off for a few weeks.

We need to plan the Texas Mile also, if you guys are taking the Viper back out there. Chris, Maddox, and myself were planning on getting an RV like you guys had. Put a roll bar or cage in it and come play with the big boys.

I think I'll hold steady with this trap speed my guess is if you couldn't get 550rwhp to hook you will have a real hard time with 1000000rwhp

Gary and Monty will be there in Oct I will not. I will be able to make the Mile early 2012.

I've been driving mine for the first time in almost a year. If you see a loud black one on a CCW Drag Pack it's not me!

Made a few pulls and at the power level I'm on on E85 and it's surprisingly tame (well somewhat LOL)! I think as it gets cooler though that may be a little bit different

Looks like hookage to me with not much hp. I go to bed dreaming about upcoming 145mph+ trap speeds.

I'll have to see them at the Mile this year, should be fun. Seems like people are really gearing up this time since October is generally better wind wise than March. Hope to get the car in, registration will be tight.

I dreamed for a running car for a long time... Now I'm dreaming for that 160+mph pass that I have it back. Don't have the suspension (and that's because there is none made for this car) to 60ft like the big boys with my power level. The Porsche dealership in Austin apparently was appalled that I didn't road race.

Should try E85... Making 4 digits on it, but downside I also have a fuel system equiv to most race cars (2200CC injectors, Weldon 2345, etc..). But @ $3.25 a gallon vs $13.XX a gallon you can't beat it if you drive on the streets a lot.

Mark you are probably closer than me to the station as well. I go to the HEB on 96.

I really hadn't thought about it but I'm starting to see more people post about the switch... maybe I should look into it.

As Powell said, I can't get myself to squeeze the trigger on the fuel system for it right now due to price. I started to look in to it, but my new fuel system is really on the top end of my budget. I really don't want to spend more right now even though I want an E85 setup.
