Yeah, its hard to resist trying to go fast!
I keep full N/A timing locked into the crank trigger and won't pull any timing with the MSD. Heck, might throw a couple degrees in it really early to try to help out the tight converter.

John and I lined the up years ago at the Nova Gathering. As I recall, I had to lift and he got the best of me. We were going to have a rematch at this year's Nova Gathering but I obviously didn't get my car done and John was just starting to shake his down. Maybe next year!
Maybe we can get some of the Dragstuff guys to come race with us sometime.

Yup, that was at Bowling Green, seems like it's been a long time ago huh..
Dragstuff meet up sometime might be fun, We'll have to think about that for next season.

Yeah, it would be fun to meet up at a race and hang out. Ozark or Sikeston would be somewhat centralized to the group I suppose. Close to a lot of you.

Be careful what you wish for Dorothy Hamill. This ain't figure skating with outrigger sticks.

Hey buddy, if you saw the Leafs against the Sabres the other night, you might be like some of them Sabres and running away like what all football players do......Oh that's right, you can't run away, you got turf toe!

Here's some of the cage work done by Bivins Race Cars in Owensboro, KY.
And here's the Detroit Speed mini-tubs.
Here's the finished trunk.
Here's the trunk with the Jeep shifter boots around the shocks and the fuel cell mounted.

This little T-90 shifter boots worked out really well. Not expensive either. The boots are dirt cheap and the trim rings aren't too bad either.
