He is but he wont see this. Roy doesn't play on the forums. Hopefully Max or the rest of the crew will relay your message though.

Lol, I like good ole Roy. Everytime I would walk in the shop he would look at me and say, "hell... what did you break now".

Roy is likely by far the best LSx engined vehicle master tech/installer that I will ever know, I've been fortunate enough to have him work on my car a few times now and the workmanship is stellar!

I only wish we could've seen ya make it to the track Anthony, car could've run some nice numbers.

9.6@150+ but his transbrake isn't holding for some reason...that 9.6 pass was on a 1.63 sixty foot by the way and the car has done 1.3s in the past so the math on that one does look promising.
