Mineshaft facts

I don't understand your thought process here. Do you consider yours one of the slow combinations?

I've seen where you have made some pretty fast runs in the past (1.10). I also see where your combination had a reduction at some point.

Where does your combination sit in your master plan?

I think we all try to play by the rules.

Yep, if there were no rules we all would be .90 racing or bracket racing and it just wouldn't be as satisfying. Even though my car is still not finished (getting close) I get a lot of enjoyment out of building a car that I hope can get to 1 under. I previously built a super street car and then a super gas car, not too much worry about when building the car, just build it fast and slow it down with a stop. For my new stock eliminator car I've tried to consider the performance aspect of every decision and every nut and bolt on the car.

Billy both are true.

Here in the south, yes I know we live above I-10, we are always "fixen" to do something. I'm fixen to go to town after some KFC chicken and fixins as soon as I finish fixen the car. Ya'll know I talk slow.

One that has a timeslip with a W on the bottom that is fast enough to win a heads-up run but slow enough to qualify for HP welfare at the end of the season!!!
Perfect Pass!

Speaking of HP Welfare. When will it be out?

Those of us who live below the I-10 road consider where we are as the "Deep South". Jim
