    Going from one car to the other is like...uh..well...lets just say they both run on 4 wheels and have the same body style.(y)
    Derrick they didn't tech my car as I was just T&T it, good thing, I didn't have a catch can or a crankcase evac system yet. I do now so it shouldnt be a problem come time to race.
    The strip posted a pic of the car on their website...I was probably fiddling with that damn transbrake when she snapped it...I hate that thing :90: but I'll get the hang of it.:)

    I can't believe they didn't tech your car, even for T&T. Isn't T&T just as dangerous?

    Love the car you lucky dog.

    Eric this is a country track....if a violation is blatant then I'm sure they'd flag you for it, they're just not as anal about it as probably a BIG track. Don't get me wrong, it's a great track and I noticed the faster we went the harder they would look at the car, but they never asked to look under the hood.

    I'm sorry...I'm getting brainwashed by the crazy sue happy CA culture. When I went to the Ford races in St. Louis I thought it was sooooo cool that I could drink a beer and watch drag racing at the same time...How dangerous!!!!
