Congrats Paul. Sorry for the troubles Mark. I can relate to that. Wish I could have been there to support the Pro-8 & will be in the future.

Thanks Guys

Despite the disappointing turn out for the event we had a real good time. We need some guys to step up the program it is kill me to see the event that created my car go down the tubes.

David S. it maybe time for a small shot on that thing. I will bring a plate system to the next event.

Mike C. Lets fix that mess, there is no reason that car shouldn't be in the nines. Let Wayne rewire that thing and keep it simple no need for any delay let go of the button and let her rip. The next event is 7/07 lots of time to get the licensee. Put your mind to it.

Paul Z. It's time to come off the bench I have seen quite a few cars floating around. BUY ONE

Alan E. What the hell is going on with Green? Keep the heat on those guys. If you need help let me know because I can wine with the best of them.

Angelo V. We need to start working of that beast of yours that thing needs to see the track before the season out

Gregg C. I have a few more cars you can collect. WTF finish a project and get it to the track.

Bill M. Tell the family you are fresh out of Vacations.

Mark S. You have done your part

John C. I wish you would listen to me. I Know I could get that thing in the 9’s consistently been there done that. You got too much into this sport to just throw it away.


Mike R. Lets go already get on those boys. It’s looking like your going to be missing out on the best time of the year for cruising.

What happen to all those tuners that had something to prove?

WOW how many cars is that and we can't fill a field of 4 never mind 8. Step it up boys


PS Thanks for all the help Valla

I would have had blue out and running deep into the 9s if I didn't blow up the TC. She will be buttoned up and running again for the next pro-8. Green is going to ECS from Vanishing Point this Saturday. Now we get to whine to ECS. Pics coming this week of the finished rolling chassis.

I wish I had the time to maintain my car so I would even be considered on the list. Go figure, I get into the business because I like racing etc, and my pay back for being successful is that I cant race anymore. Hopefully after green is together, and we burn through the starter motor, I can give you a run for your money in that and get some excitment back in the pro8.

He is already making the power of a stock bottom end blower car, we just had a customer with a much milder version of his 402 run 10.70 at 13x in full street trim, we just have to get his car to shift smoothly......
