    Hey Fordman you were right about the victor jr. it killed my bottom end with that big cam my 60 ft. went to 1.90's but the MPH picked up 3. Friday at S.R.C.A. in Great Bend KS. the Comet went 12.62 at 108.88 MPH with a 1.85 60 ft. Saturday morning put the ported edelbrock performer back on it and went to Wichita International Raceway in Wichita KS. It went best pass of 12.35 at 110 MPH with a 1.72 60 ft. I also took fourth place in the Pro class won $150.00. I can't believe that the victor jr. killed it that bad. But I'm happy with the way it's running now.:D

    they had a big show when you could rent and race them but you have to show that you are the owner of the car now the class has fell off last year in baytown the guys rented them and raced you are right it is the FUTURE
