thump, your car is certainly fast enough to give it a try. even if it's an 8 second car (and you can rest assured it will be dialed in by race day), one little hiccup, and you win! i've beaten many cars that are a lot faster than mine, just like you have. your car is fast enough to give them a run, imho. good luck! p.s., make them drive it to the track!
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

I would not be too concerned if their combo has not been proven. No offense, but a lot of Chevy enthusiasts pretty much think anything with a BB Chevy motor is unbeatable, and unfortunately a lot of Moparts members seem to bow to the Bowtie camp. Not really sure why. To another point, it doesn't get much uglier than a shoebox Nova. Let me guess, do these guys have mullet hair cuts? How many Keystones do they put away while talking about how "fast" the Nova is. Full head of teeth? Single or Doublewide. I bet they also watch WWF. Sorry, I just had to say it, got to love those Chevy guys and those stories about how they use to blow the doors off Hemi Cuda's with their 283 Power Pack '55 Chevy's. And how those 396 Chevelles would pull the front wheels 2 feet off the ground when leaving the dealership. 
Yeah, all that is nearly as funny as the Mopar guys and their world beaters, with 906 heads and "purple shaft" cams.......... Believe me, one brand or the other does not hold a patent on idiots, or people lost in the past and some of the things seen on this site, should be a testament to that. A "TRUE" car guy has respect for all brands and other "car guys", even though they may like different brands. Blind "brand worship" is very narrow minded.
As far as the impending match race, the untested status of the Nova is really of no concern....if...these guys have their stuff together. Seen many a new car be very successful first time out. All about knowing what you are doing and being prepared.

Thanks for helping prove my point. I think the Bowtie brigade probably holds the record on idiots, more cars, higher idiot ratio. Didn't mean to offend your Chevy loyalty.
I have never owned a Chevy in my life, but you are welcome to think whatever you want. I was only trying to be objective on the subject and stated no favoritism for either side, but you sir, most definitely proved MY point. So thank you for that.

I agree with Monte on this one. In my case, I went from barn find (total rust-bucket) to 1st pass on the car and went 9.11 @ 148 at Atco in good air. Made 65 runs since and had a best of 9.18 at 146. Most of those runs at LVD, not as good DA but still car ran fastest on the first day. Ran NSS with NENDRA so was never trying to make all out killers runs.

I dont think the car has made it out of the 11s yet...maybe high 10s at best.
(even if I do have the cheater juice! LOL)
No date yet and hopefully they will shake it down soon so we can get this done. 
What`s your gig.....you one of those lowly a$$ haters or what.
, hope you win Thumper.
