LJ has demonstrated quick times as well as DF. Pick your camp, that's fine. But if this race happens it's the most anticipated race in the last few years.

Good luck to both camps and let the baddest machine win. It's going to be good!
This whole thing reminds me of a "first prom date" weeks and weeks of planning and anticipation and when you finally are ready to "get some" spurrrrrrrt its all over in a flash. and then all the details get exaggerated and stories told till the end of time with each reiteration getting bigger and bad-er till the end of time. lol have fun.

Has there been a time and day picked for this race?

Is this a Friday night race?

Can someone post what day this race will happen, I would hate to miss it.

If Dick wants, every time he goes up to make a pass this race can happen!



I honestly think Dick is at a disadvantage with not being able to test much if any before Norwalk.

If Jack lines up with Dick 5 or 6 times, by run #6 the crowd will be a fraction of the number at the first pass. Sounds like jack will be there every time Fulton stages.

Make it 3 passes minimum and that way if one of the guys gets his tune-up/chassis dialed in he might run a even better number.

Two passes with engine/ chassis issues just shows more tuning/testing required.
Jack has a bunch of runs, Dick may have a few, (Hopefully more than a few though).

That isn't a stock firewall or firewall location. As said above the modified cowl panel looks like it is cut around 4"+. My guess the motor is set back 4-6"???

Looks like the same location as in my car...and it's 10" back. Now that I put the small tires on...I want to bring the motor back up to get some weight over the front tires. Hope he has a good set of wheelie bars on it.

Maybe you would if your car would start instead of putting on an early fireworks display in the water box Saturday.
