That's half the battle, the rest is fun . we're not baking cookies here .

Any car that is a sub 4 second 60-130 is one of the elite . I'm not one of them..

Should have my trailer soon. Waiting on my buddy to buy his stacker so I can pick up his 30ft. Got the tow rig/DD last week trying not to blow it up before. Made it 260 miles before programmer. Man I can't leave anything alone

This is a not a car race... it will be which driver will win. Whoever been drinking beer, been a couch potato... I'm betting on the OTHER.

Is this a subtle hint that I should go back to the gym.

I agree with Joe, Mark and everyone that it's going to be a good race and it's going to come down to the driver. I know for a fact mine is a handful to handle at points even on big drag radials and front runners. I'm 99.9% sure Tom's is to so its going to be fun and close!

This is going to be a great race. I wont even say who will win because of how close this will be. Good luck to both of you.

Really hope they have the Live feed up to watch.

Is there a local 1/4 track near by? Little drag racing from a dig would be fun.

I need to check back in more often.

Doesn't Powells' car have an extra 100 ponies or so? Are cars running normal weight?

Having said that, a slow or missed shift will more than make up for weight/power differences.

If you look at Powell's signature he had 1040 mine had 1k ...diff dyno's, temp....who really knows. I don't have any quarter mile numbers or 60-130 numbers. KPG is the closest to my build with a little less power and I think he ran 153. Trap speed. So in other words....it will be close, that's for sure!!
