Hey Matt,
I need to call you one of these days and pick your brain a little.
Looking at a few different things and wanted your opinion.
Are you guys planning on the Norwalk NMRA?

I gotta say Chad, you did a great job hiding that bottle...if you didn't show me I never would have known.... ;-)

That's just one of several wheels up shots of your car...as always, it looks great man.

Yup. I predict this car will go 11.80's or better this year at an NMRA event.

Anyone know what the fastest "bolt-on" 3V car is, N/A?

I thought I remembered seeing spyder post up an 11.78 with the auto back in the day? Or somebody did anyway...and it was with a bit less weight than Chad is working with if I remember correctly.

I don't blame you one bit. What else do you have up your sleeve for the 5.0?

I have not come up a with a new game plan yet for this season. I just bought my first home not too long ago so taking it easy for now. Just put the Trans back in it probably going to just cruise the car on the street more then anything. I still want to hit a 9.99 With the E85 fuel and some tricks before the year is over.

Yea no problem, The only race I really want to hit is anything at MIR. Track is amazing.

I heard he wore nothing but a helmet and shoes? I guess every bit counts!

;-)


Its been said that he also beat off before each race. I guess every ounce counts.

:roflmao: If you all must know I am actually trying to bulk up my self so I will be adding weight this season lol..

Seems like suspension is more crucial as power goes up. Without sacrificing my rear springs (FRPP 1 inch springs), would shocks and jumping down a hole on my reloc brackets really be worth any verifiable difference?

I do not want to sacrifice cornering but a good shock for drag that would work friendly with the FRPP springs, if such a thing exists?
