    Thanks Rick. We'll see. It should work pretty well. the front end seems to be coming up pretty nicely with the new 90/10s and those circle track 26x11.5 Hoosiers I got stick really well. If I can just get the car to make a little horsepower I think it should go pretty well.

    Oh, one more thing. I managed to cut an .016 light last night. Yess!!

    Hmm..keep working at it. You'll get better. ;)


    Is that a Pro tree or a Sportsman tree?

    I sucketh at the Pro tree. I can usually cut a good light on a Sportsman tree. :huh:

    Sportsman tree with LED lights. I'm pretty sure I would have red lit on that one if my car was making any sort of horsepower.

    Here you go Ray! Just in case you get home sick! Your Baby is safe & sound. Hey Dennis, did you notice that I was kind enough, to let him park next to the Sprint undercover? I must be slipping at my old age...What was I thinking?

    Thanks Coop and Cathy for hosting a bunch of degenerates drinking your beverages, using your facilities, tools, etc. It's always cushy to sponge off people. s! ss!

    Ray,
    Thanks for loaning out the gumballs. They stuck so hard, I couldn't even get 'em to turn.....killer hook up.

    Like I've said before. When you meet up with Maverick/Comet people, they don't just become friends. They become part of a big family. It was nice to be able to play with the cars. Then to get, to go racing, after we were done. Had a blast! Bet the track announcer couldn't beleive we had 2 Mavericks & 2 Comets there. Everyone ran some good times, but knew they could do better. Maybe next month, when it cools down a bit...

    Much as I'd love to report good times, I did have my ass handed to me by a Civic on my last pass. He ran an 11.74 to my extra crappy 12.4? I'll be back on my old carburetor next time out.
