Last night they had grudge racing at Sac. I went up there to meet with the Brain and Nitro SS and Z28Camaro. Nitro SS and Z28 never showed up but I had a good time anyway. The Brain has a REALLY nice car. Fresh paint, and convertible top etc, and a healthy motor. Just like I was afraid of, the air was terrible. The car just wouldn't cool off either. I had just run on wed and my avg mph was 98.8 and last night my best was 97.4 with a 14.07 ET. The track had some bite with was good but there just wasn't any good air. With better air I would have matched my 13.8 time again with the traction I was getting. Oh well coulda, shoulda, woulda, ya know. Well the night was goin fast cause me and Brian were chit chattin all night and they say last call. We set it up so we could run each other. We both did healthy, smoky burnouts and staged. Bam we both went out of the gate with about the same reaction and 60'. Shortly after he put a 2 spot on me and held it the rest of the way. It was a great run and his ET was a 13.1 and mine was a 13.3 (I sprayed). I'm thinkin his car has at least .8 seconds left in it with some tuning and better air. Knowing that I was about 1.5 mph off and .2 that he'd be at least that, or a little more off, and with the tuning and shift points picking up the rest. He'll be consistently in the mid 12's on DR's when it's done. Then he's gonna throw a matching blue jug in the trunk. Right, hehe.------------------

Aaron, It was great meeting you last night, and I had a good time. What my car needs now is YOUR interior 
Looks like I am going to have to wait for a bit before I hit the track on a Wednesday night though. My transmission is making a wonderful whining noise in 3rd gear !! LOL
Kinda knew that the ol' T-5 wasn't long for this world behind my 331 
Then again, if I can still shift it into 3rd, I will keep running it until the gears come out of the bottom of the case Last night you were talking about a place in Sac that charges like $60 for 3 dyno pulls, What's the name of that place? If you told me I forgot.
You really think there is another .8 left in my combo? Hell, I would settle for .2 just to get that 12 sec. timeslip. As far as the NOS, The BLUE bottle is a must, can't open my trunk and have a color clashing bottle !!! ROFLMAO Looking forward to hooking up with you again in the future. Might have to plan on attending the cruise at the end of the month Talk to you later
