no, my new setup will still be on gas. i really think its a grey area but i posted up so lets see if they answer. worst case scenario im going to talk to julio and see if i can run e100 in my reservoir. that would make me legal.

Those rules are screwed up. Some setups list fuels some don't, some mention intercoolers some don't. Dosn't list anything about meth injection under the ls section. Hide it! What cubic in is your new setup?

Sticking with the stock bottom end. Looking at the qualifying list from Import vs Domestic last year at MIR I would have qualified 5th. Hopefully the new setup will be a little quicker. Just talked to Julio and he said no dice on the E100. Said it will kill the pump.

Well, got on Dallas Raceway's web site yesterday and the race is cancelled. No explanation given. All it states is that the track is closed next weekend. ??? Those import guys are so flaky ...

Worked out well for us anyway. I have a guy from the CF coming this weekend to buy our open trailer. We are going to order a new 22' Lark enclosed trailer from Big Tex that will take 4 weeks to be ready. Hopefully in time for some great air!

We had planned to run the 11.50 index class and our car was ready but with selling our trailer we don't care now. They are having a big Thanksgiving race with 3 separate days ... cost is relatively cheap each day and the payout is good. If our new trailer is in then we'll try to go maybe Friday and Saturday and get some runs. The air should be great and hopefully since it has a HUGE payout for Super Pro the starting line will be good as well.
