I went down today to Gainesville and watched the drag race portion of the Grass Roots Motorsports $2003 Challenge. What a hoot! The cars ranged from ingenious examples of low buck creativity to the truly deranged..
Jacob Morse and his father, along with Erik Fisher (sp?) were running Jacob's 84 T-type. The T was fighting some slow spool issues and street tires but managed a 13.4@105 before I left. Good luck tomorrow in the autocross, guys!
The fastest car while I was there was a yellow SBC powered 280Z that ran an 11.48@117. Most impressive was a silver GLH Omni that turned an 11.62! It's turbo'ed and running nitrous; they melted all of the plugs on that pass. Guess that was "the tune".
I took some miscellaneous pics and thumbnailed them here:
