This guy i know from college seems very intent on racing me...since he's almost certain theres not a snowballs chance in hell that I could even keep up with him...my tiny engine and all. 
As far as I know he's running a pretty much stock car...sounds like it might have an exhaust system on it...but the way dude talks he hasn't done anything under the hood...I don't think he knows how...seems like he pays people to change his wiper blades and bulbs
THe firebird has an automatic as i mentioned in my description...and it still has a/c on the car
I'm running a 12A from atkins rotary, 4bbl Nikki modified by Paul Yaw...which also has larger jets, No emissions on the engine, no cats...straight pipe from "header" back to a glass pack...i've taken out a bunch of useless crap...like the air pump...a/c....should shave some weight off
Dude is claiming he pulled an 11.8 @ 1/4 mile...but somehow i'm doubting that...and he's also supposed to have some sponsors or something...it'd really be funny if I stomped his butt in front of em :P
so u guys think i should give him a run for his money??
still havn't seen what my car can do on a track

what what WHAT....i knew arkansas sucked...but this track isn't even a real track
its a 1/8 mile run instead of a 1/4
very strange...very strange...unless this is just something i've never heard of...
but any time I hear someone talking about racing on the track they talk about running a quarter...an eight...that doesn't even sound cool :P

it wasn't going to be for money...i'm all about the fun of the sport :P
just kept it on the street until now...track might be more fun
and less likely to get me pulled over
and yes... 11.8 in the 8th
which I don't know about you...but that seems freakin slow

crap...nevermind...have to have a "legal exhuast system"
theres no way I can even remotely qualify as legal with straight exhaust and a glass pack
speaking of my exhaust system...I posted an mp3 clip of it in the downloads section...and it told me that it would have to be approved...
if anyones reading this that can ...approve it for me

the crappy arkansas kind??
their page said that each car must have a "legal exhaust system"...but I guess that could mean many different things
but judging by the fact that they didn't even bother to make it a REAL 1/4 mile track...
I think i'll look for a different track
