You want slicks, trust me. At least until the track is tilled up again.

HMMM...that reminds me...i've got a couple sets of front and rear slicks by Panther i bought last year...hmmm...maybe i should try them huh? It wont be this weekend though we be draggin again, but drivin Dads car instead of mine, I kinda hurt my engine badly...it has the big end of a connecting rod poking thru the side of the oilpan...NOT GOOD!!! But it did run the quickest and fastest ive ever ran...10.47 and 10.46 at 131mph!!! Not too bad for a 3250lb car with a smallblock 351c in it??? But i broke it I might still show up later after the drags and say hi unless I have to stay late and win the drags??? yeah right plus now i have to come up with more parts to build another engine
Later folks

Lee...with more wet weather in the forecast for this weekend, gotta ask if you all have investigated the leak in the roof. If not, have you thought about making a detour around that corner of the track on rainy days.

Ouch, that sux. Ya know, they say that they run the best right before they blow. Maybe there's something to that.

We will address it today or tomorrow. Also, track is the same and no I don't have parts yet.
