Yea I try and go bracket racing on saturdays at the local 1/8 mi.
I'd rather do 1/4 mi. but I can drive it to the local track (12 miles).
I go to Quaker City for the NSCA race and run test and tune on friday and brackets on saturday (if they don't get rained out).
I've went a best of 12.34 with the juice and 12.80 on the motor.
Hopefully with the help of Mr. Pittman, I can get that 11.99 this spring.

suprising huh. when you figure my front axel weight probably isn't a whole lot less than your total weight. 2080 the last time I drove it to work and ran it over the scales.

Before I made the front end tilt, (cut out all of the fender wells and core support) It weighed 3600#.
I took about 150# off of the front end and then replaced about 50# doing the tilt front end and connecting my roll cage out to the ends of the frame rails. So I figure it should be in the low 3500# range now.

HEY CAN I GET YOU TO POST INFORMATION ON ANOTHER BOARD FROM BELLE ROSE IF YOU NOT BURIED UP TO YOUR EYE BALLS WITH ALL THAT STUFF.
THE GO DRAG RACING BOARD WONT HAVE ANYONE THERE TO COVER THE RACE AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THAT STUFF OTHER THEN LIKE WE DO HERE BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW THEY WOULD APPERICATE ANY INFO THEY CAN GET.
ALSO KELLY PELRINE SAID SHE WOULD GET INFO BACK TO THESE GUYS ALSO.
ANYTHING WE CAN GET TO THE BOARDS WOULD BE GREAT FOR EVERYONE WATCHING TO SEE THE OUTCOME OF THIS RACE.

LET ME KNOW OK

BILL
