To take a single cam motor that is regarded by many as a boat anchor and get it in the 12's, low 12's at that is impressive, I don't care what options the car has or doesn't have on it. Obviously this is a low budget car, and low budget cars get stripped

Low budget is fine and that's where I can understand stripping. I don't know much about single cam moters cause simply.... I think they are a boat anchor.

Nobody twisted anything Billy. Remember the Z. It had over 100K on it and I raced it on the bottle. My point is that alot of cars that are swapped have motors in them with over 100k on them also.

You are a boat anchor. Do you have a 12 second car? Hell do you have a 16 second car?

Dad drives a red 2004 ram 1500.

Better luck next time though.

BTW - Why didn't you go with pro starts over the drag lights?

OK mom's car whatever. We expect to see you racing it at the next track event. I like the drag lights better. Prostars look to much like bogarts to me.
