I predict the black Tempest breaking more drive train parts next year. Tested once last month. Tire shake netted us a bent/broken wheelie bar, electric shifter components rattled apart, and a loud grinding/clanking sound coming from inside the rearend housing. I've already bought 4 ring and pinion sets this year. Seems like every time I let the clutch out its eats $1000! I know we are close to figuring out what this thing wants for tranny ratios. We keep taking ratio out to calm it down, but it seems that the motor makes more torque the more we load it. Guess I'll keep throwing parts at it until we find the sweet spot!

Being so far apart, it would be difficult to get that race done.


Each of us could post our ETs but then it would turn into a ten page war on East Coast Air, which is kinda funny since Nitrous makes its own atmosphere

I predict the Boss Bird will be back on the track with a new lease on life......more fire inside the engine and less outside.

I'm in and I remember the Steak & Shake night. How about the bottled water down the street, what was that bill for a coke and glass of wine 43.00?

Id be willing to bet Robin wouldn't balk on the idea of driving his car(not on a trailer) 100-200 miles to Run a race......cause he has a street car.

I,just like a lot of folks would like to see you guys race. I'm not gona get in the middle of the woulda shoulda coulda stuff.I would really like to see you guys sort it out on the track!Instead of a post ET whatever,you know as well as I do the 1000 different variables that come into effect between 2 different tracks.I know you know that cause I really think your smarter than that to think otherwise.Example:Cecil County in october vs Norwalk in August.I would,just like everyone else,would like to see you run 7's at every track you run at.

But your right lil jack there is quiet a gap between Maryland and Phoenix AZ. It would be tough to get a race together.
I just wish you the best of luck this coming year and I would love to see 7.70's in your future!

Travis Q said once upon a time he wished there were more pontiacs that ran in the 6's....or something similar to that. I would like to think there would be more pontiac powered cars in the 7's next year.And I hope Robins MIGHTY TA is one of them that hits that milestone!

It would be nice just to see him out next year. He was out early, then just disapered.
