Irwindale Thursday Night

Anybody else going?

still have to play with the clutch to race. i may go out there to watch. depends on how much i got going on with work. the girlfriend is over near dale's car in England, so i don't need to worry about keeping her entertained...

Cool...hope to see you there.

I have the slicks from my other car. i already have them on and made a short pass down an empty street just to see how it works. It spun some, but should be good on the track.

Feels like it should run in the mid-low 8's if everything works right.

that looks expensive. i think that t-bird had twice the power in one bank of cylinders than that nova will have, though.

Looks like the guy in the T-bird stayed in it a little too long...

That's an understatement, see where he ended up a few shots later......they were down for quite awhile getting him out of the car; I think he got his bell rung pretty good! Check the guy in shorts!

I considered waiting to run at fontana, but decided not to. I still might take it out there though. it would be nice to see how it does in the 1/4.
