I'll be there. My car won't be but my turbo will be pushing Dragin's car down the track. Gonna have him give it a little more training before I use it.

O.K. Perros lets see what you ran. 
This was my only 10 second run of the night thanks to me not being able to get the car to 60ft. well until the last two runs. The run before this one had a 1.50 short time but the car nosed over in third when it ran out of fuel for a seond.
Otherwise it would have been good for a 10.90 or high 10.80.
I was really happy with the MPH but was really missing the low 1.4 60ft. times from the other gear. Oh well, I will dial in the suspension a little more and get it to 60 better next time.
Note the light on this one
otherwise I had 7 out of 10 runs in the .5xx zone.

I didn't break. I thought I heard some detonation so I got out of it. Turned out it wasn't detonation but I blew off my intake pipe which caused the motor to lose power. That's the first time this classic model has run in a long time and it was definitely out of tune. It did better than I thought it would though, being a '47 model with a lot of miles. I mean, Billy and Chris didn't pass me till after the 1/8. I'm thinking a good blower along with some head work and maybe even some rear end tweaking would help me out quite a bit. Oh, and some nice new aerodynamic headlights like Shalane's wouldn't hurt either.

You think I lost a little by going with the Topsider DR's?
I think you're right, they did slip a little on the mounting. At least they didn't shake or blow out.
