I ran a couple of PTRA 7.0 class (.400 Pro Tree, deep staging ok) a couple years ago, and won the 2nd race out, footbraking my Stocker. Ok, so it was only a 2 round race, but I won!

(Then they put the classes together in a handicapped Pro Tree bracket style deal, and made it to the semis with a broken rear!)

Bottom line, like others said, doesn't matter *how* you do it (R/T or ET), as long as you *can* do it.

Ron I would say looking at qualifying sheets that the average 10.90 car is around 130 to 135. Just what I have noticed over the last few years but can the guy running 150 judge me running 125 any better than I can judge him? I doubt it, he just gets to look out the front window.

Okay, help me out. What will it cost me to get in. I need a brake, a delay box and a throttle stop...right?

This is a 400 trans and a 12 bolt.

I don't have a flex plate shield, do I need one. Everything else is dated good.

Call Dennis at DRE he can fix you whatever you need for a diaper. Reel easy to deal with.
About plugs. How often do you change the plugs?
How often do you change the oil?
What if it takes a few extra minutes.
I think diapers should be required.
I have one on the dragster and will have one on the camaro soon.
