For what it's worth, which might not be much, I saw him run a 10.8 before she popped...

He's already gone 10.8s. I think at this point he'd have to run a high 9 to feel better about breaking again. Sorry brutha.
Give me a shout when you get a chance, I may have a line on some goodies for a deal.

Yup she's going by by's guys. New owner will be happy and have a fast car. I cant afford this anymore. Have over 5k on a credit card and I hate credit cards. Should have never let it get to this point anyways and thats my fault. We'll see what the future brings. Gonna get rid of all debt, do some things around the house that are over due for attention IMO and then rethink a car to drive/show/race again.

Engine is fine as always

Sorry to hear that you and Blu are giving up on the 1320 thing. If you look at all the cars on this forum pulling 1.4x or better shorts without breakage during every session their at the track,it's hard to understand why your car is so **** to going boom...something just doesn't seem right?? Anyways good luck in the future and I hope that things improve for you with your next venture.
