I went to Nashville this weekend for some small tire schooling. I do believe Mr. Hollingsworth (misp ??) can pop these off " AT WILL " and then he can turn it up !!! Pretty quick for the mph already.

Gerald was in rare form this weekend and keepin the nose down for a change as well but I didn't get any pictures of him, maybe next time.

These guys are going to be a hand full if they come up our way.

That was a good pass to of been on a .055 jet!!! I was very happy with that but it steadly went down hill from there. Just havent tested any with a bigger setup, so we ended up looking like a monkey trying to mount a football, I think with some testing it will really fly, also the tires have 9 races on them so that didnt help any.

Robert, good meeting you and the gang. I will consider making the changes to my car to make it Jackson legal over the winter if not before and come down your way.

P.S. did I choose my words carefully enough in Geralds case ???

That's definately flying on a 55 jet. :prayer: No matter if it was on a radial or a 8.5 slick. No way in hell we can do that. I must be doing something wrong.:smt102 I'll just have to try some new things at our test session since all you guys are leaving us behind. You guys are killing me.

That is a plate single spray bar, the tire was those M/H 275s those have been very good I like them much better than the MT, 9 races is very good I think!
Doug, good to meet you & yours. Hope you come down to Jackson the class has gotten very close. If we go to Nashville again probably will put my motor in Cobbs car its mini tubbed and has ladderbars it will hold 295s so might go that route, also that was good of you on Mr. Boyd!!
