Wouldnt bother me a bit, as long as it was you in a rotary!! But you have some work to do. My 60's last year were getting pretty consistant in the 1.6's. I am also working to add a 2 step on my car. Not sure if you know about that but in short I will be leaving on boost, kinda like the automatic boys....


Got my tires in and I think they are going to be too tall for the fronts. So its either run motorcycle tires or reorder the welds and gring the calipers....

skinny's are on and fit. Look a tad tall but will do the job. These are the same tires that Tony, Kyle and Gary run on there supra's. I have to work this weekend again but I am going to hit the track the first day I get a chance.

i'll more than likely be out there tonight. i pulled my engine and trans last week and i got my flywheel stopper today, so im getten closer and closer to disassembling and checking specs. im just lookin for a extra set of wheels so i can roll both shells around and free up some space, and waiting for warmer weather to take out both dashboards and carpets to get that trans bracket fabed and welded in. oh, Chris, Dustins friend will mod your Holly like he did and all that good stuff for i think 100, cant remember if thats right. just drop him a pm.

I went last weekend for 1 pass, sorry I didnt hit any of you up but I was not 100% sure if I was going or not. Same goes for this Friday night again. "IF" I get to go I am going to be there early when the gates open so I can get in a few runs. I found a couple issues today I have to get fixed before then.

Heck, I'll have to look on mapquest to see. I've never been but it is a 1/4 track and I think about 1 hour away from the Rome, Ga area.

Tim, I think Mike was asking the closest track to you, if it was 1/4 mile, and how far is it from Huntsville. Wouldn't that be the Silver Dollar?

Hey Don, where did you end up mounting your boost controller? I remember you not wanting to put in the comparment below the radio and I was thinking about moving mine somewhere else.

Ok, thanks I thought about somewhere around that area, but right now I'm trying a Profec II to see if it will hold boost above 17psi, so I need to be able to see it, but if I keep my original Profec I'll probably put it down there.

the only one I've been to is Silver Dollar but I've been meaning to hit Steele at some point. What about you guys, which do you frequent? 1/4 or 1/8?
