I'm planning on coming. I've enjoyed meeting some of you between Tim's in VA Beach and at Jeff's in Durham. I've added a Smarty since Durham, so I'm interested to see if it adds anything on the dyno, I'm sure it will help at the strip. May need to have a new turbo by then......Tim, any chance that will be one of the give aways?...... I may need to talk to you before then anyway. Look forward to seeing and or meeting everyone.

Glad to hear you will be able to make it down for our event!

With all the "modifications" you and Mike D. are making to your trucks,
it sounds like you guys will be the ones we all will have to catch on the drag strip!

It's just a lil ol' six banger...

I'm better than I was last year, but I'm still 100 HP+ away from catching you!

I was looking at my first Coastal Plains Drag time sheet. 17.560 @ 76.17 mph and my 60 ft. time was 2.592, my reaction time was .982, now that's funny! That was with a EZ and 275's!

Mike and Phil:

I think you are both going to be surprised at how well your trucks are going to run this time! Mike, I KNOW your times are coming WAY down.

Now,......you can't "pussyfoot" those truck of yours to have the real good 60ft. and 1/4 mile times,......BUT,......you don't have to do a 25-30lb. launch like Tim and I do either! You both know what happened to me!
But,......at Rockingham,.......against that Viper SRT-10 Ram Pickup,.........Yeah,.....I JUST MIGHT DO IT!!!!

Maybe???

After talking with John a while back, I know what he's planning on doing to his truck. I feel good about saying I'm still aways back in HP from him..

John, Can't wait to here your thoughts on the new enhancement.

Oh no, I'm just glad that mine says the same thing on the name plate as all of you boys hot rods! I'll be happy just to be there. Like Mike says......and what I tell my GM and Ford buddies........"It's just a little 6 cylinder!" Most of them know better by now, but my brother and his Duratampax doesn't yet. I may just have something for him yet after I save up for a turbo. I can't wait to come for the event though. Should be a blast!......er, um, I mean.....should be BLACK OUT!

"Aunt Bee, just call the man!" Dude, all you need is a fueling box.....just do it.....do it......

Your truck would be SICK with a fueling box! Come on...it's just 4-500 bucks......course, maybe you should keep a spare grand just in case for the VP.......
