Well here we go, 1st class race this weekend. Ran the car at Vegas last weekend at -U- weight and ran 14.22 on a 15.11 index but the air was really good. Everyone was going fast. Got all the little things fixed so.....Lets see how I do.

Best of luck out at Wild Horse to you, and Kelly, and Jeff Stout. We all kind of built our cars at about the same time, I enjoyed watching the builds happen on this site--it kept me going hard on mine. You guys all got done ahead of me as far as reaching the index, I still got a ways to go. My transmission is currently getting beefed up a little with a lower first gear, some better clutches, and a fancy-dancy converter that I hope is about right. I'll be back in the swing next year I hope.
One of you guys better be top qualifier or in the final. It's expected of you.

Thanks for the kind words. I know I wont be top qualifier, but I have found a good spot on tree and weather station shows a pretty good ET pattern. Lets see how I fair. Haven't done a Div race in years only local stuff and some heads up street car stuff.

Thank you from me too. I will be happy if i'm in the top 10. I'm pretty sure there will be 2 U cars that will be faster than me.

Well I'll post my last post on this build now the car has completed. I had a blast. Ran -919 under and qualified 10th. Lost a close race to Nanette Stine in the 1st round. We killed the tree, her 006 to my .010. Double break out win.

Robie sorry we didn't get to talk longer. Tech wanted me at head of staging asap. Kelly good talking to you.

In my way of thinking, if you want to race a slower /lower class car, you need to be good with the gas pedal and with the brake pedal.

Good luck, Robbie.I'm sure you'll do well.
