I'm from Iowa City. I saw you at Tri-state late last year with the hauler and vette. Do you have any pics of the draglites on the car? Thanks

I don't have any pics of the Welds-they are on my Vega. They do fit, but it is tight. When are you going back to Earlville? My brother has an 85 and we will have them on his car-you can test fit them of you like.

I'm not trying to be a dick but your a hell of alot nicer now then the last time I talked to you. You've been a great amount of help. Unfortunatly I won't make it to earlville to race my tranny has seen the last of it's WOT passes. Still can drive it around though. Are you guys planning on a date because a few friends are planning on still running through the end of the year and I would like to see what they fit like. Is your brother running an aftermarket rear?

Man, one day and you guys never forget! Can't I have a bad day?



We both have 9" Currie rear ends. But, I ordered it as the bolt in kit-stock replacement bolt pattern, etc. so they would bolt onto your car.

No I only made it to B-bops twice this year. I am going to try to make it up once more weather/time permitting. I remember your huge TT II's when you were at tri-state the looked great on the car.

It sounds like everyone is heading out there Thursday, supposed to be 70 degrees. I am taking the dually out there-the IROC blew another head gasket today.

No, I was in HI getting hitched. I heard it was a good time. A friend of mine was in the TT Mitsubishi 3000 VR4. He got a 1:03 something. I did the event last year with both cars-did a 1:01.55 in the vette, and 1:02.3 in the IROC. Were you there?
