Ed,Ray...GOOD JOB Dustin

Ray I was the guy with the white Mopar hat and Indy Cylinder Head shirt that talked to you in Memphis. Glad to see you guys make it all the way. Looked to me like there was little or no nitrous on that 11 sec pass. Last edited by 67wedge; 09/14/08 12:58 PM.

But I do have a rules question... are you allowed only 1 run down the strip at each track? I'm wondering why Eddie couldnt make a 2nd pass to better his time.. 73 Duster 360 stroker http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2594657

Not sure what Eddie's strategy was, but I know he & ray were battling Gremlins from day 3, not to mention trying to dial in a new combo & nitrous tune. 1968 Plymouth Fury III 4-Door: 12.79 @ 115, 60'- 1.93 (Hey... it's a Cruise ship... what do you expect?!)
