I will be mostly swapping out the poly for another SB.
Replacing the rear end, hooking up the nitrous and having some fun at the local bracket races.

Going to give the strip a miss next season. Be lucky to keep the ol girl under present conditions

Its run a 10.6 and that is that for now. Trying to go any further with it is just pointless. To Bananarama! heavy.
Be nice to relax in the stands for a change and spectate, instead of working on the car most of the track time

Maybe when things pick up(when)

Will think about a race car with Brut

Or go in a different direction
Good luck in the new year and hope you get the times you are looking for

The 572 I bought from Muscle Motors last year didnt make anywhere near what it should have so it will be given a healthy dose of nitrous and told to pull its finger out.

I will mostly be watching from the sidelines, pushing a few cars down the fire-up lane, and hoping the market picks up so I can sell off the stuff I currently have (got to re-thatch the house)

Good luck to the racers for next year

I like to wear long sleaved shirts and helmets (no....not long helmets...thats just silly)

its all doom & gloom, just want to run a 9.99, without spending a penny on her

A good polish & a service, that all for next season.
times are hard & ive got a ford falcon which costs about the same as a heathrow airport to run

Best you lay off the pies, then Andy

I am sure that car will do you proud and make the numbers next year.

All the best.

Mostly fishing and trying to sell me race gear under the radar of "deck and undercover area"..........Maybe a twin carby and extractor for the daily Val.......

Will be my first time out in the Coronet in 2011 would like to get into the 10's hopefully low 10's 10.2/10.3 but who knows then start to get some weight out of the old bus and try for 9.99's

Only really had1 meet with the new tubular front/coilover and adjustable strut/shock setup last year so hoping to net some gains. Managed a couple of 1.40 60fts @ the mopars but missed gears : ( Ran a 10.6 @ 132 with a 1.52 and pedaling 3rd as it got loose and lost my nerve.
Also got a data logging a/f setup coming Jan so can set that up better.
Repair my bottle heater as that went at the mopars so ran with 800psi in p/tour.
Hoping for sub mid 10s. & drive home to keep the wife off my case!

You are supposed to be warm hearted at this time of year Pete.

Anyway. A 1.5 stone loss will equate to 2/100ths off the ET. Just sayin is all.

Exactly my point, Robbo!!
