I'd actually show up for that. But I think something like 5,000 going to charity might be better.

I don't think either of you want to loose your ride.

Not bad but pom pons and squirrel suit would have to be somehow incorporated. Ohh I didn't just say that.

This would be a good run. Logic dictates the car with the best stall for his combo and the best avg power under the curve along with the lowest race weight not too mention the best wheel/tire combo and the ability of either driver to react at the light faster than the other. Since both cars have not produced any stellar times to date... My prediction has to go to the guys running just b4 you two

I think Nick is on to something here, but instead of Pinks I bet if we get the Norwalk event booked soon here, one of the other television shows like Horsepower t.v., Motorweek, etc. would come and do a show on this. Probably a few of the magazines too like GM Performance, Corvette, etc. 20 of the fasters C5 daily drivers in country letting it all hang out.

It would be a chance for all the different kits to show their stuff and get some good press.


Now I just need to figure out how to get my slug car up to the same league as Earls and Nick's

I was just joking... A little smack talk never hurts anyone. Both you and Nick would blow right by me. ONLY because I would break Dont make me go auto and have Dr. Phil put the super smack a Earl and Nick around tune on it
