Well ... I was wondering what the BFG DR's and Lakewood Lowers would do. Be it known I am still trying to learn how to drive the car with them but I can say this. It hooks far better. Check out my time slip page on my website.

Capri Time Slip page (http://www.velocity.net/~lauriekay/timeslip.html)

The other thing I would like to say is it hooks hard enough now that my back has been sore since Sunday LOL

More updates coming and some info on the Ford VS GM event that I ran in.

Why thank you. 8)

I worked on the Capri today, slid in a B303, and started bolting on the ported E7 heads I have been working on. We'll see what happens.

Thompson is having an all stick shift race coming up. :D

I havn;t ran yet this year. Best is still the same 14.9 @93 with a 2.2 60' the mph might be off as it has been a while since I ran. but teh 14.9 and the 2.2 60' are correct. I have made some changes to the car and need to get back to teh track to test again but I am about to get my gt40s and start work on them. I have the money put together just need to go find a set.

I am gettimg 40's i will have a problem on the #4 cyl with my equal length shorties if i used P's. i am nto int eh mood to buy new headers. I liek my 1 5/8 equals and they are goign to stay. So I will go witht eh 40s and do some work to them and bigger valves and mill them for more compression.

The ported e7's are on, the B303 is in, the Typhoon is installed and the Holley is ready to "Avenge"

Looking to run on Sept 10th, hoping for a low 14 high 13 second blast.

Look for more to follow.

Every run I made was in the 13's (except the one I lifted a lot on to keep from breaking out - had the best 60ft in that run 1.901) with all the 60's in the 1.9's with the 1st one being
13.746 @ 99.441

The last run was dialed 13.77 and I was up against a seriously consistant bracket racer in a mid 80's Pontiac GTA his dial 13.63

I tree'd him but I knew he was tough and I decided to take it right out the back door as did he.

Double break out!

He went under .052 I went under .105

I ran a 13.66 with an unknown MPH because the speed clock was goofy.

I can say this, my 1/8th MPH was .5 faster and if nothing changed if I add .5 MPH to 99.441 I have 99.941. I actually feel I hit 100+ but until it's on the time slip it's only wishful thinking.

Mark, it's your turn to play catch up 8)

I feel with some carb and timing tweeking I'll be below 13.5's and over 100 consistantly.

Check my site in the next few days for updates.

Had some sort of a shot put in the right side of the back in L5-S1.
Probably going back for another in the next few weeks (L4-L5).

Meet with a different doctor (Surgeon) in November
1 disc at a time - out 3-4 weeks
both discs at once - out 3-4 months.

I was close to not being able to walk.
three hern. discs, the lower two (mentioned above) are displaced 8 mm. One is fragmented.
