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 :cry:
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 :shock:
Maybe when things pick up(when) :roll: Will think about a race car with Brut :shock: :D Or go in a different direction
Good luck in the new year and hope you get the times you are looking for :thumbright: ;)

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) :roll:

Good luck to the racers for next year :thumbright:

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

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

All the best.

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. :lol:

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