Congrats to the abacus guys. Now go do an alignment on the car since you said you never have.

i hope in two weeks at maple grove that somebody in this class runs into the 9 during the actualy sanctioned event. i can see it coming

and for those of you who haven't heard... Bisi ran a 10.02 @ 134 mph on a SOHC F-series motor, ALL MOTOR. im pretty sure he'll dip into the 9s this weekend at joliet.

I think Bisi could have ran 9's, but people were bitching about safety issues so he held back a little.

I made a last minute effort to get the car ready to race. It would not pull past 7400 on the dyno. For the power it made, I said f*** it, lets race. Got to the track and the car sounded like shit. It just sputtered until vtec kicked in, then would pull. I tried all day long along w/ Shad, Matt and Opie to try and get it right. It never came through. There's always next time. I would like to thank Shad and Matt for thier help and parts. And also Grey and Brian from Millennium for thier support and parts. Also Opie for help driving my tired ass to and from the track. Thanks guys.
