My year started out going to Super Chevy in Memphis back in April. I made it to the semifinals in D.O.T. Bracket before losing to a sweet '67 Camaro. The jet cars are somewhat fun to watch, but not good for a car with 17" DR's. The flames screw up the starting line. Why do I go? Well, it's a great time to see family and old HS buddies and also pretty rewarding to get more compliments about my car's performance nearly 1000 miles from home than here in Minnesota.
I liked sneaking home around 3AM and having the wife ask me "when are you going to grow up"? 602hp got a lot of nice videos of 'happenings' around town. I remember one morning I dropped 602 off around 2:30 and was heading home when my cell phone rang and ended up attending a little frum dig.
Also, 602 was with me when we lined up against a guy who was alone in a gutted Honda with a stutter box. HaHa, he got the jump, but when we hit 3rd gear, we were in front by about 1/2 car. He started pulling out front right afterwards though. It was hilarious when I parked and a couple guys came over and asked "what shot are you running" I enjoyed the look on their faces when 602 told them there was no bottle.
Went to RF and spied on 98cobra s/c. Glad to see him trap over 120 and get his mid 11 ET. Don't get too confident about it though because I'm still gonna get you buddy. But seriously, Joe's a good friend. He and 602 have continued to be friends even after I have stood up for what I believe in against the local elements.
Finally got Typhoon's Ty back together. Broke the propshaft up at Interstate, but after sorting out the bugs, had him drive it to the Porky's shootout and saw it run 12.80 @ 103. There's so much more we can improve on in that truck, 2008 is gonna be fun.
The highlights at that event were seeing 5Door run 9's with the wagon and the black Camaro trapping over 150. The lowlight was seeing Wayne's '65 ElCamino poof at the starting line. Man I like that car! Then I wrapped up the year with a runner-up finish in bracket at the Porky's shootout. I just thoroughly enjoy bracket racing a N/A 6-speed.
Anyway...it was a good year. Fortunately, I only had to change the oil and filter a few times on the SS. We kept it safe and enjoyed our sport. Let's have a safe and rewarding 2008.

I was really bumed. I found out that Ls1 heads require an additional 90 degree turn. Now it nice and tight.
