You don't think the car will qualify next year?

Usually doesn't happen to me but for some reason I just can't bring myself to respond with the smarta** answers that come to mind. Must be getting old or don't want to be the one to start the storm.

I think that should be for the V-6 that Larry Hill has in his truck. I think the C.I. should be about 280 or so, not sure exactly. The other 1986 truck in the list is Paul Wong's truck I believe.

It is.

Which 350 powered truck went far enough under to get an instant hit?
