Careful Jeff, you're dealing with a guy who hasn't been in the suburbs very long. If you aggravate him, he'll go all "Chicago" on ya. Also you should consider that his car has on numerous occasions traveled the length of the dragstrip, ending up first, unless matched up with a red or white car.

Default The length of the strip

Yes the famous 1/4 mile.
Funny I've never lost to a blue car?
I've only lost to one red car once.
Once lost to a green car,
I've lost one to a white car once,
raced against John Spina.
(But I would have been dissapointed if the
master Guru of all electrical on GN V6's could be
trumped be a meager newcomer.)

Advice well taken Mike.

I would throw some of this junk Spina's way but he is never around and I also promised C.D. I would not tell anyone about the NOS.

Yes, I am looking forward to the challenge of getting into the arena with the Matador. I think If he does win by a nose he can say that he took down Chris also, because I am racing him first.

You drive a race bred car and you won't race it, even a little. By most accounts you have an aggressive setup. You gotta expect a few shots for that.

Won't Don Blassi come to the aid of this thing we call WCCC? Especially to defend the honor of your goombah.

Default "Drag" ged into this?

Hmmmmm....interesting choice of words.

But hey Snoopy,I NEVER mentioned anyone by name.

Besides, I would suspect that by the temperature being less than 60 degrees (nice for the turbos)
it would keep the spectators / cheering committee down to a minimum.
Besides you'll probably only need to run three times, so see, your right on the money.

Let the tire smoke begin.............

Valiant effort Blas! I'm in for helping out.

Anyone up for an installation party if Blas runs his car? You know a party means beer, pizza, sandwiches, etc...

There you have it. The only question was when/where for an installation party.
