The weather will suck, but the beer will be cold and I'm sure there will be a lot of lie telling going on.
Kevin, Brad, Bo, Joey, Chad and Betz are already in who else will be joining us?

For sure Jeff, although my times will probably not be better since I haven't doe anything to my truck and it's way hotter, I'm just going for grins and to run a few times.
Hopefully we can get Chad (08Chevy the guy with the white slammed 07 NNBS EC) out there so we can see how much better his truck is running Nelson Performance tuned over the previous tuner (Black Bear), haha I road in it and my guess is 6 tenths in the 1/4 mile.
I may try to make it out. See what it does in the 1/4 before and after tune. When are you taking your truck down to SA to drop it off. Is Nelson open on saturdays, i need to get a tune bad. Wish i could have made it last weekend.
^^
You will still smoke me, so come on out!
Nelson will make an appointment for Saturday if you do it in advance.
Dont bet on it. Street tires=no tractions. I need to invest in some slicks
Spinnin ain't winnin! Wish I could make it but have to work a double shift on Friday :( need to fix the trans and a bigger stall before I run it anyway.
Im hoping to make it out there maybe meet some of you guys. Bad thing is wont have my truck back yet.
Come on out to visit, telling lies, drinking cold beer and talking trucks is most of the fun anyways since we are all slow.
Might be a decent turn out tonight, looks like 8 to 10 trucks may be showing up.
It was a good time Friday night, we need to do it again soon.
There were at least 4 to 5 guys who made their first runs ever down a drag strip, you could see in some of their eyes that they're hooked now.
I must say Eric's 6.0 supercharged CC impressed me a lot, I believe he clocked a best run of 12.7 @ 108 on street tires, 22s at that and full weight with bed lid and sound system.
Wow, it is a must attend for me nxt time!! Jesse ran my truck he said but couldnt cut times like I cut at SAR...but also didnt use slicksQuote:

Nathan in the 07 Black TBSS, Joey in the 08 Red Reg Cab, Chad in the 07 White Ext Cab are who I can think of right off hand.
Be cool if you can get the 17s by then Eric so we can do a little weight reduction and see what she does.
Edit: Also Jeff needs to make a few passes in the Saab before he does motor work.
Tried calling the guy that has them a few times this morning but no luck. Hopefully i can get ahold of him. On another note pm or text me a price on that 87mm TB if you are wanting to get rid of it.
Yeah I met him out there, seemed like a cool guy, I believe he was spinning off the line, but didn't really get to see him run.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Joey and I will be going out there this Friday night. We need to get some tune only times for him before he does headers, ypipe, muffler and cai.
