I'm just glad someone posted on here
Please don't confuse me with Tubie and start another East vs West thing
I'm just glad I can qualify at D2 events (hopefully). We all take a backseat to D3 anyhow. This message has been edited. Last edited by: "The Bender",

I just hope with my new 1500 lb, triple slip joint, swingarm X-link, mono shock, 285 inch dragster, with 14-71 Hi helix blower , twin turbo, with 4 stages of nitrous ,on 90% nitro methane , 765 inch all aluminum Sonny Leonard motor with Big Stuff 3 electronic injection ,we can qualify at a D3 race this year .......I think the helium in the slicks and the ceramic wheel bearings might just get us into the #32 spot.........

I can't believe how fast threads die down here in the T/D T/S section

Not sure anybody noticed but now they are blocking the National event entry list for T/D and T/S. They will only show you the car count.

Paul, the race trick for 2013 is the highly sought after "flux capacitor". You only need one.

better get that new top secret Torque converter ordered too. you know the one, flashes real high and loose to get the wheels way up , then couples up to be really tight at about 30', then goes to MINUS 10% slippage at about 660' to actually increase your existing HP... I hear GER converters has it in the works...

We arent going to need one yet , I'm hoping , with the 3 foggers, 2 plate systems and the plenum spray bars , if we shoot 400 from each ...thats a 2400 shot , that should get us in ....

Marty Chance can fix you up with a converter that does that. I've been running one for about 4 years.

Ron , not planning on running it down the track... I figure if I hit all 6 systems with the release of the transbrake button, the explosion will propel the car to about a 6.30 pass or so ....
