Way to go Bagel we doint think we can go that fast even with the improvements we are going to put on. But we will see there is one thing im going to add so lets see what happens. I think now there are two seperate thoughts in Slant Six Racing . Who is going to be the fastest and who is going to win the National Championship. This is not to say the fastest cannot win the Championship. Your thoughs on that. We are still planing to go to Indianapolis even though we cannot gain any points. I would like to meet some other Slant racers and i miss my ole buddy Bagel. Thanks your friend Possum :D :D





Turbo huh now thats a thought

Ron, you are correct, since I started playing with the nitrous my bracket racing has suffered badly. However, most if not all my losses this year were mental mistakes on my part. I guess that is understandable with what I am going through this summer though. :(

I am planning on being at Indy. I am also planning on an 11 second run there. :shock:

We passed that point a long time ago. It was spooky when I got it to break 90 in the 1/4. It has 10" drums on front and 11" on back. :shock:

It is still kinda spooky trying to hit the first turn-off at RT66, and it is a long way down. :roll:

We understand Bagel been there done that was not plesent on my end. But we are going to give it a shot. Still have a couple tricks left so lets see what happens. Besides who knows what is going to happen in a drag race. Are you buying the pizza and beer at Indianapolis you ought to. Thanks your redneck friend Possum :D :D :D
