LOLz at Chuck (we won't even go there with the white car)
So, the real question is... will one of the oem block/crank/head 6-cylinder cars still be atop the 1/4 mile list next year? Or will the big orange Ford chassis go rumbling by?
It should be interesting.Neither, the better question is how often will the n/a small bock beat the turbo fanboys! None of you guys can cut a light even if your life depends on it. Full tree, I will beat you every time. Ohhhh no pro tree stuff tho....
Smack talk layeth down.... (you can give me shit next fall)p.s. I am pretty high on primer right now so.........

So you changed your mind?? Did you decide to go 2 stages or is there way too much V.O.C floating around in that head of yours.. With one stage I still got you with a .500 reaction time..:icon_porc:

I would be happy with a 10 pass.....
Any words of wisdom?

But yes, still 2 stages and holy crap I am still flying...... Time to buy a new set of filters and start using the mask again....
I will be the GM/Ford/Nissan. lol.
Car will have "Weak Sauce" airbrushed on the spill plates, in honor of Bill, Dave and Matt. lol

It doesnt come off your skin, and it will get you sick if you dont wear a mask or your filters are really bad. Usually every tuesday and wednesday I shoot zinc, my least favorite days of the week. Let me guess new flyer buss parts is what you sprayed?

Correct, I used to spray the entire frames, 2-3 full size bus frames a night. I would have to change my rubber boot covers every other day as they would get ridiculously heavy.

It must be the paint fumes... :drunken_smilie:
Oh, and a sportsman tree is for girls.

I said n/a. If I put the n20 to it, your pumpkin wont have much of a chance. I have seen your slips, add a 1 to the .500 and maybe you are in your neighborhood! ........ Now get back to work! hehN/A? Then you must certainly be talking bracket racing. That's for old guys with slow cars who are afraid to go fast.

Seriously? There are MANY ways to lose at bracket racing:
Redlight = Lose
Too Fast = Lose
Too Slow = Lose
Slow Reaction = Lose (or potentially losing)
Car Breaks = LoseThe only ways to win are if you opponent does one of the above or if you manage to get to the finish line before the other guy without any of the above happening to you.
If I were tired of losing, I'd concentrate on making my car faster and say fuck bracket racing all together.

Ever been to a s/c event? Can you cut a .000 light? Most s/c cars are capable of running 7's and still make 170mph passes with 2-3 seconds on the throttle stop. Heads up racing is usually won by the team with the most money. How is that racing?

Race against people with similarly modified cars, no sense in loosing to a slower car, just up the league...
