From what I hear 8's are in the bag for you guys and the record should be very close following also. Good luck!

Jeff,

I sure hope so. The first few passes will tell the story. Breaking in the clutch, getting the tuning right and of course suspension tuning will be the time consuming issue. Good thing we didn't change the suspension so it should be pretty damn close.

Maybe now I will have time to go get my new wheels from Nine Ball. Hell we have been so dang busy I keep forgetting about those until late like this. The race car gets put ahead of the rest of the cars. Paid for is a good thing I guess. The GTO feels left out now

Congrats Joe and Amber. Next time your at Baytown I want to see the car run. Sealy is just so far from me

Good luck on the sub 9 second pass! I wouldn't doubt it does it on the first pass
