    Heartland Park Topeka 10-26

    Well Tom got his blower back. Is now kinda caught up on stuff after Drag Week 12.
    Now to "test" the Drag Week 2012 engine.. which is now the 2013 engine..

    For those of you not aware, his supercharger went south a couple weeks before Drag Week. So he bought an intake then ran a 9:1 comp motor this year..

    We are hoping for warm enough weather for T N T friday at HPT to see what it woulda run before the GM 10bolt grenaded!!

    Wish us luck!!

    Have a few Diesel trucks goin too. one has a new twin turbo set up. Dynoed at 700hp, 1400tq at the wheels last weekend..

    Should be fun!!

    We are hoping for GOOD track prep!! (hint, hint, Ron Ward)

    Never too early for Drag Week 2013 testing, right!!

    It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

        49* for the high, with 10-20mph NW wind..... TAIL wind!!

        IF the traction is there, big IF.. times should be fast, to say the least!!

        Will we see Mike run a 9.99?? or Tom??

                    Sorry guys, but I won't be there next weekend. Duty calls at my regular job (and it pays a lot better, too).

                          Blame the track not the racers.LOL. If "They" were smart they would contact a track that hooks in the cold and ask how they do it.Then again look at who announces. LMAO.Sorry Ron.Truth be known Ron does a great job and unfortunately they dont ask for his input.The other factor is the wind at HPT.

                            the track guys are more wimpy than my oldest daughters (13) softball team!! The girls were warming up at 715 saturday morning when it was 28*..
                            Of course they were complaining!! but they still played 5 games till 7pm last night when it only got up to 46 for the high!!
