See..........My prayer's were heard!!...........this ought'a reduce the ET
as well!!.........Thanks Bernd!
I was invited back up tonight because I'm running a 6 popper, and they are
having a race for 4cyl and 6 cyl
racers that includes a bracket type race for nitrous,
turbo, and supercharged cars and trucks....I said no thanks as it was being
advertised as a FAST AND FURIOUS NIGHT!.....TOO MUCH RICE FOR MY
TASTE!.............besides can you imagine the looks I'll get when the Dak
starts dropping low 16's
and most of those kids are running mid to high 16's
or slower!!
