Mac,

it was almost like i knew that 10.91 run was a 10 sec pass, car left like it was on a bit of spray, Jim got me right in the groove and i launched it high and hard! it is weird waiting for that shiftlight to come on, i used to shift at 6400, add 400 rpm to that, lol!!! the wait from the shut down to the booth took what felt like forever, lol!!! and the ride back on the return road felt great!



leave the gloves at home guys and bring the beer

Great job Taner. I should be in the ten's aswell with the new solid Joe got me. It's just too bad I race at 5,400 elevation. You sea-level guy's are lucky. I hope in the near future I will be able to make it out to one of these big events, to meet everyone.

I would love to go to that race but unfortunetly they don't allow carb cars to enter. I guess in F-body land if your not fuelie your out. I am just too cheap to go injection. There is really no gain in injection if your NOS is tuned right. Fuel delivery is just along for the ride. Hope you have fun and show though LS1 guys what an LT1 can do.

Boxing?? I gave that up awhile ago. there just isn't any point in it. Best of luck to all.
