No, I'd prefer that you either butcher, bag and box it up before I get there and hand it to me with the time slip (Option A). If that's not possible then you can just flatten the carcass and I'll drive over the top. My torque arm mount or maybe a set of wheelie bars will scoop it up and I can drag it back to the pits (Option B). I've done Option B before with the car already so my preference is really Option A.

That is...if he even bothers to cook it before he eats it.

It will be my first one. Maybe I can grab another Camaro by then like my wife wants me to do.

OK, so who wants me to bring out the 170hp of fwd tire burning fury that I like to call my car?
I will refrain from attempting to run this car, due to the fact that with that much raw horsepower, I cannot guarantee that I will have full control of it.
Instead, I choose to be a spectator, like last year, when I had my 290hp TA.

Now, now, you have MONTHS to get ready! Why not pick up a cheap third-gen and run THAT car?
I've seen ém for $1200 in decent enough shape for drag racing.

I don't mind seeing 16.5 second runs, especially when they have .5xx reaction times, and run within .1 seconds of their dial-in. That's good racing that will make excitement, even when pitted against 12.50 cars.
If I cannot get my new engine done in time for M9, I'll probably be drag racing my warner brothers edition Chevy Venture minivan.
