It will not be long until LP gives up his title of fastest n/a vette in Texas, as soon as the rims and "real" tires come in. The record will fall. Car was hauling *** last night with no problems...... And the times and MPH are correct on "tires"

John did you sleep in the laundry room last night

John your still 3mph slower in the 1/8th then us.... In ALOT colder weather you did this. We did it in 80* with a 1.58 60ft..

We arent worried about our title because you have a automatic with a big stall, lol. We have a 6-spd with a stock 3.42 gear that is driven 200 miles a week. Thats our claim to fame. There are faster N/A Automatic Vettes, but not 6-spds.

Tonight if we don't break we're going to give you a new ET to go for SAR here we come.

Congratulations though on the car running. I know its been forever since you've gotten to make a pass. I'm glad it all worked out for you! Get some tires and we'll get it done heads up on a pro-tree.
