Default Lookin Good!

Well its lookin good for saturday racin. Been down the last two weekends with upgrades/repairs.

We will be heading to Pittsburgh Raceway Park.....anyone wanna join?

I will be sporting a cyro treated differential, compliments of Jburnett. Thanks again man!

And also my new upgraded converter, which I am tracking every move on UPS, its only about 50 miles away now :cheers: Gotta get everything installed tomorrow night and pray for no snags. Shouldn't be, but those are famous last words.

So what do ya think? 10s or 11s saturday? Its all in the hook! 1.46-1.47 should put me there!

Been fasting for the last few days trying to shave a few pounds off //as he sits at the computer typing and eating apple pie :D //

Well hope I can catch up with a few of you guys there! Weather looks decent for at least Saturday...sunday is questionable. :cheers: :lurk: :thumbs:

Let her snort Jesse! :thumbs:

Here is my prediction.
With the new stall you will have a bit of trouble hooking 100% but when you finally do, you crank a 1.44 60' with the wheels up and slap down a 10.8 @ 125.

Sounds do-able to me!

:cheers:

Boy, Guys I hope you predictions are right, but I think if I get it, it will be just barely. But as long as I get it,...I will be happy. Anything more is just icing on the cake! :cheers: :thumbs:
