Default Big Day for PANUZZO Racing This Sat.... :)

OK....

Here's my plan.. I'm taking the Caviler Sat.. (The weather will be great) its the last day of racing for us, so I'll go against my better judgment, & enter TWO classes... The Pro Dial Dash & GM HiTec...

I'll also be tuning for Ralphieee.. and watching out that the "KID" don't eat all the food!

I plan on finishing the yr with a double win.... I put that in before Mackey could!

The Brackets should be great... wish I could be in them (not to win, but maybe be a spoiler).... well that wont happen, but I'll do my best in GM-HiTec and Pro Dial...

It should be fun watching a 10 sec car sitting on the converter for 7 seconds when I dial 17.5 in the Caviler LOL

NO TEAM ORDERS!

Even my Dad and I don't believe in team orders. My only first round loss this year was to my dad when he spanked me with a .008 RT

Naaaa... u are right, there are NO "Team" orders . it will be one helluva good race day... & I'm going for the "Kill" in my 135 HP Cavilier... But I hope E Town don't catch me cheating ( I had a Delay Box, & Trans Break installed for Sat. race....

But I found a great place to hide them, so if Tec can find em I'll be DQ'd

BTW anyone ever heard of a delay box on a dead stock Caviler

Go get 'em John.
There was once a rule that permitted a (current) Corvette owner to run a 'non Corvette' in the Challenge if their car was down, wasn't there?
I know it no longer applies now of course (if it ever did that is).

Yes. It's called the engine in a Caviler.

Jpee, If I knew you better, I might say something along the lines of

"I thought once to get to a certain age, delay boxes are are a moot point."

But I don't, so I wont...

Best of success to you tomorrow!

yeah good to see you will make it. On the pro dial dash, occasionally you will see someone driving their pickup truck when their race car is down so you just might get yourself a heads up match up in the cavalier

I was considering doing the Pro Dial Dash since I bought a car this week that's capable, but I was given the advice to learn the car on a sportsman tree for one less variable and I think that's the smart way to go
