i think you'd be safe to drive it, an engine stays cooler on the high way than around town

The 2nd... ya i should be up for it. Don't forget a helmet if ya got T-tops. They're enforcing it nowadays

I feel like a dork wearing a helmet in a 16 second car honestly.

Mike - We should get Dave (not me obviously the other Dave, oh wait there are 2 others... the one with the mustang) to bring his camera and record some runs! Or me spinning in the water box, that'd be cool. Nick might come too, he's got the bike all fixed now and all i can say is damn is that f-in thing fast. He flew by at about 120 on reservoir while we were standing on the side of the road.... wow. He got up to that speed just from in between rochelle and melcosta. (That will make NO sense unless you're from out 'hood). BTW - Good luck getting the camaro to pass tech if they look under the hood! Me and Jayme could get our run settled this way too. Instead of on 150 (BAD IDEA!)

Lets see how much oil I burn this time! I should actually measure it lol.

Vic - How is it again yours runs quicker than mine? I just don't get it, unless its just mine is that much more beat to hell. Oh yeah and you've got the TCC lockup right? I'm too afraid to try that, my tranny worries me enough as it is. After the rebuild though....

Cool, hopefully I'll make it down. I'm going to attempt to drive it down, but this time we are going 65 the whole way there instead of 80!!!

cordova requires a helmet for a convert or T-tops. and they do check the battery hold down. Also, don't wear shorts, you have to have long pants or something covering your legs. No passengers if you run faster than 14 seconds or something like that. otherwise they are real cool.

I'm up for it again. Peoria crew (all but Jamey still have f-bodies...) up for it? I'd love to see what the 72 will run with the 455 in it.

Prepare to be destroyed by the mighty 72 running 16.2's cause the 455 isnt going to be done this year!! Gotta love $1600 heads...
