Default 7 weeks to Norwalk who is ready and who isnt?

With just 7 weeks to go who is ready and who isnt?
Who is hoping to run in Tom's race and who is hoping to make the Q16?

I for one am not and crossing my fingers and toes right now. If I make it I'm planning on running in Tom's race.

7 weeks? I am going next week for the no box bonanza!

I had to replace my big motor with a back up already this year so hopefully it will survive until August! Will not be running any quick races just hopping for mid 11's.

Im thinking of going to Milan for the Friday night HU race. Then shooting up to Norwalk that night. If Tom will drop to 6 per CID or even 6.25 then, im in. Other then that " F that.

All the fastest non chassis door car Pontiac's will not be in this race do to weight, and that's a shame for such great Pontiac event such as Norwalk.

For the first time, I don't even care about going to Norwalk this year. But I will go anyway because I always do.

Slowbird,
can you make weight at 6.0? Or 6.25.
Glen and I were talking the other day and he thinks every one can make weight at 6.0, but we didn't know about you.

It don't matter any way. I know Tom wont budge. But I still say it looks bad for this event and heads HU class that the top cars are not in it

I am still waiting for my new transmission, headers and then need to drop in the engine. I am planning on running Tom's race if I make it. It looks about 50/50 on making it to race.
