I will definitely be at the park for the show. I don't know if I'll be at Camp or not. I'm sure my parents will be as they are deep into organizing the event. They are also having an autocross on Sunday if you hadn't heard. Be sure to check out my dad's car. It's the black 67 BB coupe. You can't miss it. He'll be racing it on Sunday too. My car is halfway torn apart in the beginning stages of a frame off.

Have you weighed the Draglites with the tire on? Just wondering how they compare to the Intro Pentia's I just bought. The rears are 18x13 with 345-35-18 M&H Drag Radials. They weighed 61 lbs. My old stock 15x8 steel wheels and BFG Radials weigh 54 lbs. I am giving consideration to buying some Draglites in a 15" size to run some slicks. I think the wrinkle wall slick would help absorb the abuse of the stick shift and 598.

I didnt weigh them, but the weight difference is significant when lifting the tires. Check out this article. It's right on point. A difference in 82 lbs and over .10 ET at the track.

I haven't had a chance to go through the instructions of uplaoding pics on threads so I added an engine pic to my user profile - not sure why it's blurry- looked pretty clear in the 1 x 1 screen on the camera!!!

Hey, thanks Bob!!!!!
I put a different pic on there and tried to copy and paste it on here but it didn't work- so obviously you did something different. I am new to the digital picture thing and coupled with being a slow learner, it will take me a bit to get it!!!
