Speaking of Carlsbad...

I do believe that Dwayne still holds the honors, but not for long.

13.856@101.39 (? 60', probably BAD)
13.938@104.02 (2.449 60' )
13.854@103.83 (2.341 60')

I have much more I can get out of this too

Oh yea, thats a 305.

Yea, Pablo was there. Broke his car again His first run was the best, 13.70@102.49

There was a red Z like Kevin's without the candy stripes, and a blue Iroc showed up late in the day and made 1 pass, not running real well. He said it was a 12.0

the weather sucked *****, chris' little weather station showed 90-95 degrees on it

I only managed that one pass, the next one i missed second and then began to feel a nasty vibration

the third pass the vibration was still there and was real bad so i just let off.

Turns out i blew a U joint, I changed them out today so all is good. I may try again next week

yes i spoke to that guy, he told me he had just put ported l98 heads on there, 3.73s, and some other mods and his car was slower than what he ran before the mods, he was only hitting 14.0 which kind of made the full on slicks he had on there look silly

Was that a very clean blue 89 IROC with the 406 and a light skin black guy driving?

Uh That's not a 406 that's a 434.. The 406 is out remember.. He wanted to sell me that 406.. To drop in my car.. Considering with my Combo from him he ran 10.70's n/a now Im sure the cam I have is larger than what he was using then maybe.. And the big drop is the heads.. The large 195's James has now, compared to Vortec's..
