Chad's car , it's a " teaser " of what is to come this weekend . A big wheelie like that isn't what you want for ET , but just to see a Viper do that is off the hook .

I'll post video as soon as it's up. I got total wood when I watched that pass. Made me think twice about selling my car There's still so much potential in this Vette.

Paul , Drop a 427 in your car and you'll be right there in the 7's with that Viper , you could probably do it with the little 346 , with some thicker decked heads and a solid roller cam .

What was your best time ? Any heads up races against the Vipers ?

It's time to pull that little engine that could (or should I say the little engine that DID ) for a refresh. You're right, I talked about it with Julio and it's very possible to get into 7s with this motor. Heads, forged crank, and solid roller ought to do it.
