So they are doing Footbrake instead of Pro. That's different for an NHRA track. Any idea what the usual bump is for the quick 16? I guess I would have to put the box back in and run the box class. It's been forever since I've run off the foot brake. We might have to come up. Sounds like a fun race.

We need some fast Pontiacs to represent.
I need to keep my Olds and Buick buddies jealous.

How far away is Byron from Norwalk?

Sounds like a good place to phuck up a mustang with a pontiac motor in it!

we got the trans worked out and the timing issue we didnt know we had. we will be there as long as we dont get any metal in the oil filter. ran the car this past weekend and discovered after having Don at DCI worked on the heads that it wants more rpm. picked up 3 mph from where it was before! cant wait to get it on the 1/4 mile.

True Street is 13.0 and up huh? But I drive mine 2 hours to get there. Some 13.0 cars come on trailors!

My dad and I are planning to attend.
