    Derrick I'll have a better idea after this weekend, I havn't ran the car since the rebuild/upgrades, IF the car runs 5.6's in the 1/8th I would speculate low 9's maybe high 8's in the 1/4, and no...I've never ran a 1/4 mile in ANY car.
    I'm just guessing at this point.:huh:

    I'll make my qualifying passes for IHRA this weekend and I've scheduled my physical for NHRA next week and can make my qualifying passes in Atlanta at the FFW during the private T&T on Thursday....what a PITA all this is:90:

    easy way would have been just get the nhra license. if you have that, ihra just rubber stamps it. dont really have to do the passes, and there's no physical anyway. i know if you have an nhra lic and want to go to the ihra nat meet, they make it very easy to get an ihra lic.

    Easier said than done....we have no NHRA sanctioned track in S.C. ...Atlanta will be the only NHRA track I'll run this year, I'm well aware that IHRA will rubber stamp my application if I had an NHRA liscense....what PO's me is NHRA won't reciprocate with IHRA.
    I can get a 90 day waiver on the NHRA license but I stiil have to have the physical form when I show up in Atlanta.
