So how much $$$ does it take to get into the 9's? More than it takes from 12's to the 11's?

With spray, you'll have to spend at least $20k to upgrade engine, tranny, rear end, shafts, axles, chassis etc. etc. etc...

It looks like the C5/6? killed it at the starting line. How embarassing!

Their are no real trees at Pomona! Some palm trees.

Oliver - since that Vette just a hair over 9 seconds it might have been a super comp car (8.90) It does take N2O to do it. Most of the people I know in that class just run 500 + ci motors and they try to keep the weight down to 2500 pounds.

8.90 cert cages equiped with narrowed 4 link setups aren't cheap

I actually saw a video of the same car doing 8.50's...
I'm sure that it isn't cheap.. but you can get into high 9's for about $20k... I only need to add a 150 shot to my setup and I should be in the 9's in winter...
