08 Race predictions
All right the 07 season has come to a end and I have already started getting ready for 2008. As always I like to set a goal for next year. What are your plans for 2008 and the goals? For the last 5 years have set a goal on everything that I race and out of the four cars and seven motorcycle, I have achived my goal on every car and all but two motorcycles. I even achived my goals on all of my friends cars that I have raced. So my goal for 08 will be a hard one. I plan on going 11.20's in my bolt-on c5z. That would be number two on the c5z list. I have been 11.50's but that was with the stock clutch and what turned out to be a bad third gear in my trans. Let see what your plans are

JR,did you finally get that ring and pinion gear problem solved? I didn't attend Drag Week 07....but I did hear that you broke on the 2nd day. I though that maybe you would go with a straight axel setup and ditch the IRS?

I'll like to do somemore cc 11.50 races but it was a long ride, and to do that for a small or no payout may not be worth it to me. I will do atleast one, but that maybe it.

Got it...Yup I am looking forward to that too.
You entering Late Model EFI index or one of the heads-up classes?
I wanted to enter the Mean Street heads-up class that did not allow LS motors and now does but the cubes are too small for me and it has to be carb'd and that don't work for me so it is late model EFI for me.

If I can't then new blue will run the 11.0 index as it is being supercharged and having a 5pt bar installed now. It will be a little bit slower than Shawn's
