    Vince, you have nothing to fear from me in any case, and the N2O depends a lot on the trans deal so well see. I won't be scaring anybody with a 10 second BB/PA car which magically becomes an 11 second car the first actual day of competition.

        Uh-oh. With this crowd, the beer and liquor tab is gonna exceed the cost of gas!

        Good info guys, keep it going!

        Will there be a list of host hotels, or is it kind of a random deal?

          here.. this mite help with your hotel list.
          HOT ROD is “where it all began,” as the first magazine to cover the hot rod culture. Since that time, HOT ROD has evolved into a brand devoted to everything from hot rods to restomods, barn finds to project cars and everything in between.


          just have fun, expect long drives.

          main goal is to finish!!

            You are waaaay to organized My car is built like it roll out of a Johnny Cash song and I have no paperwork written down except the front and rear u-joints, I kept the lids of the boxes in the glove box. Heaven help anyone that gets the car after me!

                    ow ow ow ow ow my feewings are getting trampled!

                    And for the record, it was 2 blown head gaskets. lol FML!

                    If it's freaking hot, drink plenty of water so you can make rational decisions about repairing your car if you blow 1 or 2 head gaskets!!!!

                      I think plenty of water on this years route maybe the best advice of all. This will be my first drag week as well.
                      There's always something new to learn.
