Hey Dick, can you post a pic from the rear of the car so Lil can get familiarized with it.

LOL...that is funny, I don't care who you are!

For the record...at this point I don't think Dick has anything for Jack. This race alone, if it happens, will be worth the trip to Norwalk.

Jack ran 8.0s on a good weather day at Norwalk, in my opinion the best he's going to run is high 7.70's that's a 3 tenths improvement. Dick has already ran that and I'm sure when he comes out with his CV Heads he'll do the same if not better. Jack could be in for a long weekend at Norwalk!

I agree thats a real possibility. For sure theres a real chance that one or the other could never hear the end of it. If dick wins with a big weight advantage....he needs to win by a lot. On the other hand if he stomps a mud hole in jack that would be bad for jack, real bad.

If jack stomps him we WILL hear the cv guys cry about big dollar, Billet jewelry, Check book racer. So don't act like its not gonna happen. heard it here first.


Drive em across the scales after the race and declare lbs before.....This is a HP war and we can all do the math. If the cv guys really want to make a statement....

I'll be in the line congratulating either camp. They both have a tough row to hoe.

I would be lucky to go that fast out there George. It should be a close race!

I don't think he is going much faster with CV1 stuff, just my opinion.

That kind of money in the new Billet heads, I would think jack Better stomp him, I don't think that's going to happen , Dick's car has been 7's numerous times, suggesting it's set up better than Jack's and Also Dick has been out of the game, Building His new combo I would not count him out for anything!! IMHO, Pontiacs to the front!!!!
