What kind of IC are you running? : ) Parts looked kind of familiar in that pic. (smirk)

Good luck guys. I'm a little worried for you because of all the last minute stuff. Would have been nice to have it done a couple months ago and just spend 60 days proofing things. Crossing fingers for you either way.

eh....I've been trying to get Steve to part with those wheels for a few years while they sat collecting dust in his shed. He wants a premium amount to part with them.

Good luck at the event y'all.

We couldn't use the Hoosiers because they have been outlawed for the event. Money was getting tight so we did all we could do. If I had to guess I would think about 6 grand has been put into this car just in last few weeks. The pictures do not due the car justice.

ANd by the way, most drag strips don't like when you put down a liquid of any sort on the track other than water for a burnout. Maybe heating up the tires in the water gives you traction.
Looking at the interior, I think you guys might lose a few points in the show car aspect. I'm sure the other cars there are gonna have "phat ICE," crazy paint, etc. Also, remember, innovation counts so anything you've DIY'd must be very well executed.

On the other hand, last year, a very stock Supra did very well...

welp, from the looks of things, what you lose in the show part will be WELL made-up for in the guru panel. once the wheels look a little snazzierim sure itll do a little below the midpack. but then again, i dont know what the other cars look like.

to give some hope, the first year a rotary datsun took first, and it was not made to be a show car, just SUPER clean. then last year it was an ultima GTR in second, it also want made to be a showcar. i would tell you about the second year, but i cant find the article on it.

i'll make sure to pick up a copy of the magazine, well one thing though why they did not set up a legalise betting for the cars?
instead of betting it illegally.

dual BB T-66

refers to the bearings not the number of turbos
