Klaiton from Houston this will be drag week 2.5 for me registered in 2012 car was still on the dyno and we did not make it but was able to go up to enis for the day and watch glad i did cause i got to see larry make his hits. made it in last year but we had plenty of carnage 3 axle bearings, 2 alternators, 2 waste gates, and on the last day kicked a few gears out of the gforce gf5r. new plan for this year built a stronger tranny, took 500 pounds out of the car switched to dot drag slicks (swapping tires is for the birds) switched to different waste gates running co2 on the controller. swapped out the 3.08 locker for a spool with 3.55. changed the cam from 226 @ .050 to 265. so far all the testing has sucked but i am working on the problem. good luck to all that made it in

Being a newbie last year and from the the great white north .. Didn't know anybody before drag week .. Now have a whole bunch a friends all over the states .. Drag week itself goes by to fast having Saturday racing this year will be a great chance to BS with others .. Enjoy it .. Dragweek is an great event I feel lucky to have taken part of and finished ... Cruising down the highway with 300 + other drag racers is one of the best parts

Don't forget helping one another out at the drop of a hat and the continual ribbing/teasing of each other competitors fabrication skills.

Yep we are in. Chris and I are riding together this year, so depending on which car/truck is ready in September is what we will take. Chris is redoing the hotside, going with 16 injectors (1 set for meth under boost) and making a lot of other trick modifications on the S10 . Hopefully the truck can go 8.3's, and keep the junkyard motor together, this will put us right on top of the 8.50 limit in SRSBPA. If we don’t have it ready in time then we will take the Camaro in same class at a much slower mid to high 9 number.

Good luck and see you guys in September will have my pile and we have Snowball a 98 White TA running too this time.
