If Evils parts don't come in, I might roll up there.

How about you don't, I don't want to get cracked by a stock truck.

You don't have to worry about the little white refrigerator.

If your truck gets much faster you're gonna need a helmet.

13.99 or better and you need a helmet. They won't even know your truck is capable of that until after the first run though.

I doubt they'd say anything if you crack off a high 13 but, it's been a while since I've been up there. Maybe some of the others who go up there more can comment on the tech inspectors/officials attitude these days?

I have a helmet still in my truck from when I test drove my new toy, oooopppps cat is out of the bag. I can let you borrow the helmet if you think you need it. Hell I still have the numbers on the side of my window from 2 weeks ago. Removing them today actually. I will call badmofo today to see if he is in.

Bring a helmet. They watch for that and, if you go quicker than 12.0, you'll get run.

Its starting to sound like "be there or be square!". I'm gonna make it, I just don't know if I'm gonna be able to run my truck or not. If my son wants to come, I'm not gonna deny him, and since he's only ten, I won't run if he's with me. But either way, I'm gonna come. I'm sure I'll figure out something. Also, I know a few F-Body guys are going to be there as well. FBC (F Body Central) had a bad *** sounding WS6-liter up there the other night that they plan on trying out this Sunday. It has all the makings of a solid low 11 second car in my opinion and was as clean as a pin. It looked fairly stock (minus the cage) and the cam sounded really hairy, like a bunch of marbles being shook up inside a tin can, I mean it sounded great! So all in all it should be fun.
