It was fun while it lasted...

Just got done taking the 8# lower off and putting a 2# on. Have to face the facts that 10.76 will be my best time for now (I can live with that)and now it is 12.000000000000000000s for a while.
Wanna do a lot of bracket racing next year so I need to get my set-up ready now. I figure low 12s w/ the 20s on the front ,93 octane and taking nothing off the L. Jusy go to the track , change to the slicks and go racing. No cool downs or anything.

The one good thing was ZERO BELT SLIPPAGE when I just changed belts. The idler arm had no residue at all on it. That means I was taking full advantage of the KB. I ran a 80 size belt w/ the KB(not reichard) 3 inch upper (also no metco idler pulley)and 8# lower for anybody looking for a good belt size.

Going to E-town tomorrow for the trophy marathon (will stop at JDms first for a new program though). Will get 7 passes for $20 and that should give me a good idea where I need to be.

Besides I do not feel comftorable running 10s alot without a cage.

Oh so thats how it is

Spend all that money

Run a couple of 10's

and then go back to the 12's

I bet that wasn't even your motor,
you prob borrowed someones just to show off a while
and now have to give it back. Serves you right.....


V,
You know I kid you, only the best wishes for You, Teri, and the Beast, (both Beast for that matter).
You got the strenth and power now, the reliability and peace of mind you wanted, but most important,
you got BACKED UP 10'S BABY.....
If bracket racing is what floats your boat, then bracket racing it shall be. AND THE BEST AT IT I'M SURE

BTW
I knew you'd **** me and not come to NY to race this season.
"Wus"

Whats wrong with the way my truck launches ???




Hey V who does the short movies for sigs around here ?
I should get them to do a 2 sec "moving pic" of me hopping
the rear wheels off the ground. It would even be better if we
can get Justin's "OH F.UCK" in there


Hey I look at it this way, your only as good as your last run.
I'm faster than you next time
I'm faster than you next time
na na na na na

You may be running 12's for a while Vinnie, but just knowing that your beast is a true 10 second machine is, I'm sure, an awesome feeling for you that won't fade away anytime soon.

....that is until you get that 9 second itch anyway.

Dave,

At the end of 2001, I had hit the 12s, 12.97 to be exact.
End of 2002 I had hit the 11s, 11.93 to be exact and now at the end of 2003 I hit the 10s, 10.76. So the end of 2004 should be exciting........TO BE CONTINUED......

Interchangeable pulley? Race with whatever you want, but continue terrorizing folks on the street with the pizza plate.
