who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus

[Robert Swartz]

Bad thing is, it's gonna take 12's to be a player. My car (if it's ready and done by then) won't be there, yet. Timing will be the issue with our car. Do we have to pre-enter or can we pay at the gate? If we show, somebody is probably guaranteed a 1st rd win in class, imagine we'll be the slowest car there.

Tod made a comment to me the other nite though. If all these Fords show up. Shaw's Caddy made an appearance. Jack's Wagon, Billy's 1K car. Add a PU or two, plus whatever other combinations show. U/SA eliminator will look like a "Buy Here, Pay Here" car lot! On top of that could be the class with the most entries. Be like running class was 35-40 some years ago.

What truck can still run in U?

Maybe I spoke out of turn. Have all the trucks been factored out? Still ought to be an interesting mix of cars.

Well, not a good one but the 93 f-150 with a 300 six fits U/SA but that's at 190hp! Not sure if I'd want to try that one. I had that exact truck and stock with 3.08's ran 19's I think it was. Who knows where it was on weight/etc but I'm thinking 4 -5 seconds would be pushing it.

My stock 96 (same basic truck) with the 3.08's and a K&N filter has run a best of 18.20@70 MPH. Getting it to U/SA times would be quite a task (not even sure it would be doable), but it sounds like a fun task! Now that it is wearing out a little bit, I was starting to toy around with the idea of rebuilding it anyways...

Drop it to 155hp like the carb'd one would help, but man, dropping 6 seconds? That's quite a bit, especially when your looking at a 143hp 302 sitting in the corner.... not lazy, but not crazy either! LOL!

I would be worrying about cars though. I see some 11 second potential
