150+ is fun. It is a really good seat for watching the race from...As for it being an advantage not sure about that. Still have to run the number and be good on the tree. But I do have the race in front of me and have found some interesting strategies employed by some opponents.

Just for the record I'm only going 146 in decent weather

I hope so dave, should be a fun change of pace anyway. What do you recommend for a stop? I need to take some gear out of it over the winter also. We've been primarily 1/8th mile spro racing it and when i took it to gateway to t&t, it was going through the traps at 7300-7500. Thats a little more than i want to wing my 2 bolt main, stock cap 455. HAHA

I don't think you really need to go any faster than about 125mph to run 10.90, if your car hooks.

If NHRA was smart, they'd put a 125 mph speed limit on that class to preserve the "entry level" nature of it. I think keeping it an entry level class has merit. If you can't run 10.90 with a 125 mph capability car, you need to work on your chassis...

Just my 2-cents...
