    Time sure does fly. Seems like yesterday I was dying to get into the 11's. By the way, I couldn't have done it if my buddy JayBird didn't give me that sweet transmission! The discount parts from Mike Pollack didn't hurt either!

    No problem buddy i had to force you to take it beacuse you didn't like the idea of a reverse valve body i told you would get use to it.I hope my trans is still good Im going to try to make it to Cecil with my yellow car.I don't like the idea of looking at that big 65 brake light but it looks like im going to see it all day.

    Good job man! You should borrow my 1050 Dominator and you'll crack 125.

    Andy had a maxed out 925 Holley and tried Jeff's Dominator and picked up alot!

    Ready for Etown?

    I also have an extra carb that makes three 1050s I don't know if the old tuna could handel all three at one time :laugh: Im glad you made it in the 10s now i can stop busted your balls.And the trans i gave you was nothing. Trans are easy to come by A life long friend like you not so easy to come by and you can't put a price on one.Okay thats enough of that your going to be looking at 70 tail lights Oct:bla:

    Wow. Thanks guys. Didn't know I had so many friends! I'm going to put Jay's Dominator on for Cecil. Figure I'll stick with what I've got for E-Town. Praying the storm goes east!
