    I don't mind the junior dragsters being out there on a club day. I do kinda mind them running a competition on a club day AFTER they had moved our day up and having them take precidance over us. The 60ft times not working kinda bothered me but not as much as others cause I couldn't launch anyway.

    I was also told that I wouldn't be allowed to run any faster than the 13.50 per NHRA rules but was told beforehand that I could run mid 12's without any problem. There were only two things that kept me from beating that 13.50 maximum... Tires and rain. I had consistantly gotten better and gotten a better feel for what the car would do. Thus I was gaining more confidence in the car and the track and was gonna try to get a 13.1 or 13.2. Once again not a big deal but I am not gonna be allowed to run @ the track without a roll bar anymore.

    The tune is strong and Devin did a great job. Driveability is nearly the same as stock except I noticed the extra weight up front which of course is nobodies fault. Everywhere I go people ask me what that noise is... or if there is a jet under the hood or something . I couldn't be happier and nearly scared the pee out of my mom when I gave her a ride .

    I will be back down today to get the passenger fender well put back in as well as a dyno sheet or whatever ya got
