last saturday was a blast i saw many cars and trucks running inthe 12' and 11's. what impressed me most was an old man running a 72 lwb chevy with a 383. last fall he was in the 14's he ran 12.50 's all day saturday. you know i ran up to him to see what he had changed. he told me that he made one change he took some world products sr touqures and opened them up all the way around. and he also added some mickeys for traction. so he made 2 changes but that old man was bsutin some heads. i will get some picks later he always shows up at test and tune.

Old age and trickery will get you somewhere...LOL! Love to see those pics. Get the rest of the specs on the truck, gears, tranny and engine too.

gotcha i'l see him either this sunday or the following tuesday at the track and i'll get those specs and pics also.

the funniest thing was the big grin he had when i walked up to him after he made his 12.55 run and he saw this wow look on my face.

It is always nice to have someone else recognize and admire your work!
