Signed up :-) Hopefully in the Head Start group again...

Looking forward to getting back down the runway a few times and organizational improvements :-)

Oh and for it to be much cooler on the day...

Organizational improvements in the works for sure.

Time slips will not be missed this time. We had it planned, but we were swamped with the amount of spectators who showed up.

MPH recordings will be taken with TAG HEUER equipment.

Jeepers I'm in again too. I'll be swapping my 4.11 rear to my 3.23 rear. I should have my 30th package stripe done too. I found my problem with the coolant. I drilled 4 holes in the Tstat and at high constant rpms it would blow the coolant out the res tank. Never did it on the dyno or ever before but this seems to make sense. I'm in Ft. Laud, you?

SOOO looking forward to the cooler weather! We only got a small taste last week...

ryansws6-glad to hear you got that figured out. I use to live in Coral Springs, wish I was still there, over in Ft. Myers now, I sure miss the lifestyle overthere. You should be able to stretch those gears a bit more And oh yeah, I cant wait for that cold weather to set back in again!!

trevor.j- at the last event, if you stayed till about 3:30 or so, you could hot lap your car and keep going till you blew it up. Its definatley worth sticking around for the whole day. At first though, it was a bit slow going, I think I had two runs in by 1:30, I think it will be a bit quicker going this time though.

Ft. Myers so this event is a good drive for you! If you were closer I'd say for us to hook and go together. Actually I'm thinking to leave the 3.23s for good. Yeah 4.10s are great but for this it sucks. Besides tired of the no hook and future plans next year are for a mangna charger and 3.23s would be perfect. Come to think of it, if you take 75 you need to pass by me. I'm in Plantation off 595 and nobhill.

Its not too bad, I think it took us about and hour and a half. We jumped off 75 right after the bend and took 41 the rest of the way, I was looking at one of those maggie's too, they look pretty sweet, just dont know if I can bring myself to notch the cowl or not.
