the racing season went by once again, seems just a few weeks ago we had spring here, oh well... our season was absolutely incredible, not one lost elimination round, low qualifier at every event and number one in points, how do you top that? I really wanted a 8.5 et but had to settle for a 8.62 , I guess that gives a reason to continue on this mission  a couple of videos for you, semi s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebDeKDqCUYFinals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H22AZeAkLCMHow to set up your car  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWE689mc2Uand a high speed for last https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kuYmUpf6NQ

Thanks guys, the car is really working great now, no mechanical issues at all this summer,that gave me time to experiment with chassis settings and I made some progress there. I also noticed that when you can trust (if that is the right word)your car, the driving starts to come together even to that point that you actually believe that you know what you are doing

ended early this year, last race usually in september, there are a few left but only on bad tracks and I m not going to risk it for nothing I was thinking about going to Sweden but since I have other things to do besides racing (like work), it s not likely to happen I would love to come to England and teach you guys a thing or two , don t know if you have any class where I would fit in?

No problem, You could teach me how to get my car to run 8's
As to a class to run in....  Heads up? only one class. If the car is street legal you could run in street eliminator, you'd have to do a qualifying cruise and run 7's on DOT tyres to be competetive, otherwise super pro ET bracket class 6.00 - 8.99. There is complicated eliminator but don't ask me how that works.
Mopar Nats is a great meeting, basically RWYB. Haven't been to that meet for many years though, date is usually too close to other meetings for us.
However, I'd make the trip down if you guys were there

And I would have put money on "Put a small block in it!"
The new motor should get us close though
