Default IT'S DO OR DIE!!

Tomorrow is going to be my self imposed last race day of the year. I've been trying for a 7.99 (8.09 best) on the motor and 7.29 (7.30 best) on a 125 shot. Did a little tuning in the driveway today for a baseline. Two friends are supposed to be there, BB '69 Camaro (7.27 best) and a 455 '70 Firebird. His wife told me he was in the 6's but I've never seen better than a high 7. The Camaro's registered but RARELY see the street and the Firebird is a race car. But I ain't skeered. Maybe I can kill 4 birds with two stones. Two bests and two kills!!
