Sounds like a good time...i will try and make it.

Speaking of HRP, I heard that the track was recently sold and the track may be closing. He was mentioning that this year might of been the last NHRA event. Has anyone heard of this?

good to hear it was a good turn out. I missed another event.... My fuel pump decided to become flakey on saturday and I spent sunday limping it back to my apt so i could put in a temporary pump from oreillys until my new walbro showed up. Glad it was a good turnout, and congrats again Ed. 11.69 in that weather is pretty damn incredible.

Too much boost going down I-45 or maybe Hwy 146? LOL
