Good weekend at the dragstrip!

Shannon,....
I'm glad to see you got my Ol' 557 powerplant working like it should.
Congrats on getting in the 5's.

This guy you're refering to is local to me. He sure can drive that thing.

Yep Keith, that be him!!! I was caught by surprise when he came up and staged. Normal looking foxbody, smallish tire, and VERY quite. Leaves the hole soft but damn does that thing come alive when is starts making boost!

Oh and Keith, Yes, "your ol' 557" is doing a great job for me. Very consistent and a boat load of fun! I am very pleased with her

Wasn't a .0003 BUT this past weekend while still struggling with my RT's, in the second round I finally cut a nice light. .001 ran the guy down, caught him fairly quick which made my scared about another break out, and started womping. Gave it away and lost by .006.

great job
