Jays car, although on a 364-ls2, puts down over 1k to the tire with a power glide and YSI. Std Trick flow heads, nothing wild hydraulic cam.

Out of interest, are there any results available for previous 1/2 mile events ?
We do not have much mile experience here since there simply isn't any events remotely locally, but we have a customer with a stock bottom LS2 who has knocked on the door with 7xx rwhp in Tx.

That's almost defeating the purpose of having it there ?
Agreed completely, NHRA's explanation to me was that the door bar makes the triangle needed for it not to be able to fold.

Not sure, you can send an email to wannagofast and ask? But I'm pretty sure there are not many left! Tell your buddy to get off his *** and do it, otherwise he will be crying in June watching you!

We will just hold out then incase someone backs out, June is a long ways off and a lot can happen between now and then. As of right now we are all going to Houston in March and then the Texas Invitational in April.

I may still be in Afghanistan in June. They are asking for volunteers to extend their contracts and if the $$ is right I just may stay a few more months. I already paid for sat and Sunday. Is this something I can offload if need be?

Hey Luke, send them an email explaining your situation. I don't think you can get a refund, but you should be able to sell your 2 spots to someone else!

Ok so it will be possible to off load that's all I need to know. Nothing is 100% yet if they ask for 6 more months it aint gonna happen. 3 yes and that puts me outside the window for this event.

Rob, I'll let know know as soon as I know something. Could be a couple of weeks.
