Is it just me, but I thought at least 1-2 should have at least had a Radix or something on them

Lame.

I guess they could have had an STS but I didn't look that close.
Well, hate to feed your words back to ya, but 10% of those AV's were blown. One Vortech, One STS, and one Radix......I saw 2 of the three timeslips...

Cool. I did a quick walk by and didn't look at them all. Just didn't see any personally with impressive engines. I guess the 3 I didn't look at was the one's you described.

Well, I said they were blown..... not impressive....Quickest in the bunch was a whopping 9.87 1/8th...hehe... I guess 9 psi of boost on a 6000 lb shoebox doesn't help much....

More power to Magnacharger to make money where they can, I just wouldn't expect much positive support here.

Grippy had to know that he was throwing this one at the wolves!

It is interesting to see the supercharger on there sideways. BUT, I really think those "trucks" are ugly.
