What kind of Class are you looking to run in John? An outlaw type class? a doorslammer type class? Street?

As you could see in G-Ville. The REAL Pro class is pretty competitive. When an 8.5 doesnt make the cut Thats getting quick. Not to mention the 4.7 liter V8s that are sprouting up everywhere. I think it is all totally unfair in my opinion. These Cars belong in the NHRA Pro Stock Category or something. Its all Crap. Abel and Steph P didnt make the Show Saturday but mysteriously they were competing Sunday. Seems like a lot of Politics to me. I was actually turned off by Professional racing after this one and you know how much I love these events.

After Drag Warz My car is getting Tore Down. You have a good idea of whats going to happen and Its going to happen fast. The car is going to be fast. But I now feel like it is all for nothing. My name is Joe not Yallon or Shepard. If I made the Show Id just get swept under the carpet or something.

Anyway John. you know Ill support you. And If you have any ideas and you need a wall to bouce them Off my skulls pretty thick.

Sounds like a Great Idea John.

Looks like you get a 500 pound Advantage over the Supras. Thats pretty nice.

There must be more displacement to be had with that motor which will bring you close to Supra Displacement anyway. (they havent seemed too interested in strokers and stuff yet)

No rules from the back of the front seats forward. Nice. 4 Link + 9??

Powerglide has Buschur at 8.1 right now. That should do it for ya.

If I remember correctly you have one of these specimen... dont you?
