speed limiter was gone last meeting, we are still in play stage...the only limiter to hit is the rev limiter...there is still more to do, G&D are as keen as mustard, but we want to have a few decent runs 1st the way it is....would like a bigger hi stall to, but limp home mode is no fun...

never rained, for those guy's that wanted to run it would have been the best night to run... 35 cars were there, at times there were no cars to run... stageing lane was empty through out the night...
OFR CEO (Ray) had a word to a slightly higher power upstairs and asked him to keep the rain away...on ya Ray..lol.

i bet my nuggets on it, same as my car...did have a chat with a guy friday and a told the more load you put on the auto the more slower it well go...your best chance of getting these cars of the line is with a little bit of wheel spin...words from the great George Haddad...who is building a big block windsor in a XR Falcon...also look out for his V8 Capri should be at the track soon..Busy man George and a true gentle man of the drag racing game...
