Great job man. It takes superior tenacity to achieve that level of performance. I can remember racing at Bristol once when I would of sold my soul to the devil for 1 more 10th.

Good job Brad...thought i was gonna have to loan you my $40 Q-jet to get you over the hump! hehehe
Got Marty's LeMans to a 12.98 last nite! But the dang thing is pukin off the line. it was way lean in the primary, its got 37shooters in it, i think he may have a plug bad. hard to tell, it may need the pump cams adjusted or more shooter in rear. Ive never had to run that much shooter in my holley. I dont think its a rich shooter prob. Just have to keep screwin with it .....q-jet right around the corner!

Nice job Brad, another super fast Pontiac. Must be a great feeling. I hate it whenever I surpass a goal. It just means I have to work harder. You done good. MArk L

i don't think that i have to work much harder,
i just need to give the engine and blower what it wants. it is ready to go, i put .6* more timing in it and raised the retard to 4600rpm to give it a little more bottom end. now i just need $75.00 for race gas, $35.00 for gas money, and a $25.00 entry fee. all of wich i won't have till next month, if anyone has some extra $'s i would be more than happy to spend it for them again thanks for all the positve coments guys. brad |
