I wanted to take mine up the strip this year as last time I did it in the Chally I made a right pigs ear of it and done a 17-something!

But still not cured this bloody 'pinking' problem on full acceleration, so I'm not taking a chance in case I break it.

To race gas and worth a try...

Finally got a couple of nice big chunks of titanium dropped into the old knee so am on the mend. Hoping to have a hobble around on Sunday if AndyR goes in his Fury. See you all there

Just got to put a bit of polish on the Demon and we're about ready. Nicola says that it's apparently my turn to take a car up the strip so it'd be rude not to set a time? Are 7 1/4 axles really made of glass? I don't want to break it!

will stand 500hp easy you wont be hurting it,,

I doubt my cali-spec smogger 318 is making a third of that? I'll just play it safe this year... drive around the water, no burnout and walk it away from the line gently.
A timing ticket to see what she does bone stock is the only goal this year.

Hey pete, you should build one of the others i have on the bay,, with your skills you could build one quick show of your work, very small to store and tow, plenty of ++ to a pinto,,

Going big with the shop car got that 25.1 Camaro on the go now boosted lsx is on its way

But a pinto would make a great lil bracket car...

Gates open 9am Friday for general admission and I don't think they close them until end of play Sunday, so I would imagine they will be open whatever time you turn up on Saturday?

I say open Friday for general admission cos I've just learnt this week that the pro mods (at least) get to go in on Thursday
