Just found out from a good friend that I'll be there video taping for Speed Scene Live, so if all works out we'll be on the starting line in the thick of things. We'll also be interviewing for them also so if I can find the Moparts parking I will definately hook you guys up to get you on the show. My friend doing the interviewing is a Chevy guy but he understands the Mopar addiction, so if we find you don't be to mean to him.

Yeah what up with that 
the girl on the phone told me my entry is not tranferable and no refunds. I couldn't even use another car, she said I had to be the driver and it could only be the car that I regestered. how stupid.......
so I am going up to spectate and not have a car there.

I'm sure it's the money thing...they make more this way. They know the demand is there and they don't have to please anyone as they come once and then are gone to another track. I'm just going because I havn't raced in a year and a half and the season ends soon. I have no delusions that I have any chance at winning....lol.

Rob,
Have you done anything to the car? What are you expecting to run? I don't think I'll do the nitrous, since I only have one bottle and If I were to actually make it and go rounds I would most likely run out about the time it really mattered. I'll likely be running 11.3 - 11.4's in just the motor.
On the other hand, I don't see them doing the season finale show with anything less than a 10 second group...

10.75 @ 125.35 w/ a little spray

Dan...I have the same dilemma as you... I have a bigger solid cam now than when I ran 11.60's(old one was a little hyd)....and I have an electric water pump now and a little bigger carb (probably won't help any). Plus I have my 10" wheels now so a little more footprint (probably will just make the car more stable on the top end). I would be dissapointed if I don't run sub 11.40. But...My nitrous is all hooked up now too. I have a 15 lbs bottle and thought about running a 100 shot....and if I somehow made it to the finals (since they usually pick 10 sec cars)....I'm sure I could bum a bottle off someone that was already out (my brother or you or someone...lol)....if I'm out...likewise, my bottles yours! I don't know...it's just a thought. I've been trying to make the same decision.

Well that didn't help  If we have willing bottle loaners, maybe we should just go for it...

It's confirmed, we're going to play with the spray... I just got 2 more bottles loaned to me and between us we'll have plenty. There's almost no way all 3 of us will be in the show. I'm planning on being 10.70's, Don can run 10.50's I think, and Rob has never tried out his system, but for the sake of argument will be somewhere in that range. 2 .10's is a wide range...
I think I'm going to get a nitrous delay box so I can mash it off the line and have it hit .10 out rather than my redneck method of just pressing the gas slower and hoping to be consistent.
