Doc, at least you tried. My hat is off to you. Had it been me, he would have burned me 60 feet from the start. I pick my street fights well, he would have knocked me out of the ring!! Good thread, man.
Doc, I did get a chance to see the online tribute to the Silver Bullet. The argument as far as the engine/tranny was really heated, but I don't remember Jimmy running a Bauman-style scoop or a tunnel ram setup on his car. He did built it to be incognito and of the stelth nature with a stock ramcharger hood scoop. The car that Manuel had was a built up version of Jimmy's X. It looked more at home on a trailer, or with slicks in the staging lanes of Michigans dragstrips. Very interesting thread man!!
H S ... TRIED ? ..... that "race" was done with a MAJOR .....
Doc, at least you DID line up with the "Bullet"!
