    If you've never been to a "True 10.5" Race, try to make one.

    These cars are putting down some awsome horse-power - the trick is how and when to apply the power to their (relatively small) 10.5" slicks - else eat the wall.

    It makes for great spectating.

    There's a True 10.5 even next weekend at HMP here in Houston. I'll be there.

    Ivy, or Scott, (or anyone else within 100 miles) are you gonna make it?

    Here's a quick preview:

    I've seen toooo many 10.5 cars get stupid, I avoid lining up with em. of course it has alot to do with the driver I'm sure but there something about puttin that kinda power to that setup that makes me weary.

    Those are the coolest racecars to me.Stock rear suspension,mufflers,10.5's,drive to the track,rip off some mid 6's & drive home...on pump gas.(y) Gee,my Comet's only about 4 seconds away from that.(4 seconds and probably 10 grand away that is):D

    I just noticed your reply.

    I didn't see him. Me (and the entire crowd) always look forward to his 200' long wheel stands! :eek:

    'Had a great time though.
