Thinking outside the box
Yes, I am going to try to make it. I am not CERTAIN the Valiant will be there, but I'm going to try. I have never run it down the strip with the blower (just really got it operational recently) and I'm having some ignition problems with it, but I'll try to get those ironed out Friday and will be there, with or without that particular car. I may be in the wife's '97 Toyota Avalon.... it's polar white.
I have a friend (a racer, Bobby Roper.. see attached photo of his car) whose grand-daughter just got a new Jr. Dragster and they're going to have it there for some shakedown runs (Madeline Wilhite.) I'm close friends with that family and want to see her in the new car. It's going to be a lot faster than her old one. She won the points championship this last year at Centerville (2008), and got a jacket, etc., so she's excited about this new car; it's a lot faster than her old one. I think this new one has run mid-7's in the eighth for its previous owner.
Attached, also, is a picture of my ugly mug.... ugh! At least, youll know what to look for. Bobby may, or may not have his Camaro there; dunno... It's an NHRA A/SA 425hp 427... Brand X.... Has run a best of 10.19 @ 128.... Not too bad for a stovebolt... LOL!
God, I hate Chevys...
Maybe we'll hook up Sat. Hope so!
