You never feel bad about winning a drag race, no matter who or what is in the other lane...

And you still don't have one of these yet do you? Only $40 at summit...

it was more like i havent launched anything from a stop in 2 years and all that torque surpised me . i hit the rev limiter in ever gear too lol.

Ltngdrvr · 02-16-2009, 04:39 PM

Y'all come on down to Houston and I will strap a light on both of you!

Bracket racing rules!!!

cylhead8 · 02-16-2009, 06:59 PM

i had a lot of fun racing and hanging out with steve.i wasnt out to win,just hang with someone who has the same love for the model that i do.
I would love to come to houston and hang the wheels at the track with you.
I dont want to give the impression that im bragging a win against steve.we had a good time;even though i broke his tensioner pulley after he threw the belt. we went to my house and i robbed one off an alternator bracket to fix it.i felt bad about beaking it.

dude you are fine! i had a blast except for the 2 hour delay. now i just need to redyno it and see if the jets and timing work helped.

I have a line lock if you want it. Just give me a couple bucks for it and pay for shipping. It is brand new, still in the box.
