Well, I may be the slowest one there, but I'll be there! Sounds like fun! I get to try out my new 3.54's. I ran a 14.2 on 2.59's but this is a MR engine so I barely hit my powerband. These new gears should wake this puppy up (if not the new engine will in a few months)!

Hopefully I'll be mended soon.

You don't have to be the fastest car to win. I've actually had more fun with the slower motor in my car, running 15's and winning.


Sounds like my car will still be the slowest one out there

You got that right, Mark...I've beaten a heck of a lot more 11 second cars than 15 second cars and I'm always one of the slower cars too...
