Hell yeah we do. A few of us tried to orchestrate one a while back, but it never happened. I hope a retry comes up and it happens.
Take it on and make it happen Big Dog. Get us some specifics and prices. You know which track I'll vote for!!!

All in favor of Hitch being the conductor of the DragStuff Race Orchestra say "aye".

I say "AYE".
Uh oh...

You should be looking foward to trying your new setup out at a more...challenging track. Like Wichita!

My vote is for the East Coast, like at Cecil or Maple Grove?

Let's see, they are like 50 minutes from me vs. Kansas which is more likely a few days aways :scratch:

You guys from Kansas always think about yourselves, must be something in the water out there or you guys watched Deliverance too much :smt005 :smt005

Hey Mikey, congrats on the 5's.....

Hey John,

Thanks to your buddy Mike, THANKS MIKE, we got off the subject, but I thought you were running wheelie bars?

No, wheelie bars aren't allowed in our class.

I was thinking that you were running that single wheelie bar that Calvert Racing makes.

Guess not.. :scratch:

Thanks bro.....it was a nice unexpected surprise. Finally built a little comfort zone this past weekend driving after not having been down the track in over 20 years. That's what John and I were talking about. He felt a little out of sorts trying to get accustomed to all his new gadgets and doo-hickeys. The Big 'n' Bad Blue Nova looks like a cockpit of a rocket ship compared to mine. John busting off a 5.30 on a small tinkle of spray first time out was very impressive.

Time to bolt in the blue bottle for next season in this overweight underpowered primered Chevelle.
