Well it looks like Shelby Bill has almost finished his brakes and we have set a date of two weeks to run the 1/8th mile. I'm borrowing some 8" slicks to hook up alittle better and I'm considering ordering a set of 1:6 to 1 rollers before the race. I'll keep you updated on the race and try to post some pictures after.

Ahhh yes, the pressure mounts :). I would definetly run those slicks....running down the 1/8 mile doesn't leave much room for error (not that the 1/4 mile does, but there is even less room for error in the 1/8). If I recall correctly, aren't your cars pretty evenly matched? If this is the case I would hone your racing skills before the big day. Good luck! :chevy

No pressure bence, I think I have him scared. He keeps saying "you can't run the juice". I bet you, he is ordering slicks as we type.

It's funny that two grown men can still act like we are 20 again.

He looks good on paper, but it's still a Rustang and tuning is the key.
