God, guess I gotta get in here now and defend my buddy Larry. His car is 484ci and weighs around 2975(can't remember for sure since its been 2 years since we scaled it). He didn't run at Norwalk last year. The year before he ran low 9's. Found out clutch was gone in it(I set the clutch so I know it was out of adjustment). Don't think he ran the year before. He's been high 8's there in the past. I've seen it run 8.80's before and think he ran a 8.70's in good air(I didn't witness). All these times with monster wheel stands. We're hoping we can both switch from afb's to Holleys this year.

All this said, you guys can stop dragging his car through the mud as I've pretty much summarized what y'all need to know. Larry is a showman more concerned with pleasing the crowd rather than the fastest ET. At 64 years old, id like to think he's deserved the respect to be left alone on here. He's happy with his heads and to me that's all that counts in my book.

To be clear i really like larry's car and said as much. The point was not to drag him in. More to call GGTo on his assumptions about his revered heads capabilities. Absolutely NO disrespect was intended for him. I would however love to see him add the weight and run. Thanks for the post

Id like to see him do it too, but we're locked in running the nostalgia program there and not allowed to run the regular classes. Heck, I'd love to throw Bills 434 in my car and run the class but there's too much to change on my car to do that also.

I look forward to seeing you there again
