Lightbulb I wanna race a Chevy...

Im in the Austin area, and looking to gather up some people from Dodge, Ford, and Chevy to get together at the nearest dragstrip, which is in Seguin as far as i know. Friday nights are there Street and Grudge nights, so im feeling like a little fun is in order now that us Texans are finally being blessed by the cold weather! Anyone interested?

When do you plan on this going down? Depending on the date, I may be around your area.

No date set, just throwing out an idea to see how many people are interested and when a good date for everyone would be. Just about any date is good for me except around Xmas time.

No blower here........yet. N/A all the way at the moment. As to what's hiding under the hood, just a couple more cubes

nice... My last truck was a 1989 GMC ext cab. Ran low 15s.

bored over 30 to a 355
Vortec heads polished
Edelbrock Performer port matched to vortecs
headers
Flowmaster
pulleys
Holley TBI
Hypertech chip
MSD everything
252 Comp Cam
EVERYTHING

Dynoed it once, hp was not that great, but put out 320 lbs of tq to the rear wheels. It was a beast down low. I still miss it. Sold it to buy my Hemi, not because i wanted to, but i needed something with a warranty and better mileage. I went Dodge b/c the Hemi had just re-emerged. The horsepower wars from the 60's are back! HELL YA!

How's the Hemi scene down there? I'm going to be off of work for about 2 1/2 weeks at the end of Dec til the first week of Jan. Last year I took the time to just travel, I'll be doing the same this time around. Thinking of heading towards the warmer states and hitting some tracks. All the tracks around here are closed and I didn't get the chance to run the truck.

Red2k-Did you find the schedule for any of your local tracks?
