    Judging by your user name I am guessing you are a racer ?
    I have a hard time just sitting in the stands and watching , most of my time is spent in the pits helping with work between rounds.

    Hopefully I can finish my car over the winter and get back behind the wheel. Been out of the drivers seat for a couple years but really want to get back at it.

    I spent the better part of my life at the tracks… from weekend racing, to NHRA Injected Nitro , IHRA top fuel, IHRA Alcohol funny car owner, to Cadillac and Corvette sports car racing…. I’ve done some traveling. :smoke:

    my buddies still try and get me to go with his outlaw 632 class car… just can’t do it. Guess I’m burnt out.

    That's a pretty impressive list you have there. You got me beat ! ; just a weekend warrior here but still enjoy it so I am going to ride the wave as long as I can.

    We do a lot of the outlaw 632 , 10.5 class and X275 around here.

    Welcome.

    Huge race fan here engine builder by trade. Still building engines and 90% for drag racing.
    Currently in the process of building a blown injected altered for my own personal use.
    Glad to see someone else here that is into the same thing.

    Enjoy the stay!!
