As you can imagine - I don't have any retirement money to dig into since I am a life long drag racing addict and don’t have any family money - LOL

Not sure you would approve of the changes but we have done what is needed to our car and engine to make it a “purpose built” combination - LMFAO - you just are not up to speed on our efforts

I am really not looking for an advantage just a level playing field in a heads up class

Hope you can make it to INDY with your CJ and join the fun – it will likely be two blower cars in the final

Ron, I was just ribbing you. You have your car working good, and it's very fast, congrats. I was merely pointing out the fact that the guys at the front in the ADRL series have gone through their engines from top to bottom. I really wasn't sure (just speculating) that you haven't. My comment about your retirement was based off of your earlier posts about dipping into it, to have your car. Lol

All in good fun, and have fun at Indy in the shoot out. We will be there, just not in that class.
Talk to ya soon, Sean

My personal opinion is the base V8 car should weight 3250 min with the driver, and the other weights be based on that. I don't think a DP or Mustang w/o a blower can get any lighter, I know a DP can't get much lower unless it's remote control, and then set the other weights accordingly. And you gotta have 3 speed in all the cars, not just the Mustangs. My 2 cents
