That'll be great.

So as for the 2 hours of drag racing. If you look that time when it ends says tentative, too. Castrol Raceway is taking a massive hit with us being there tomorrow. Like, a grand. The monster truck tickets are $25 a piece, just to put it into perspective. So we can maybe get 2 and a half to 3, but don't hold your breath because that's just more money they are loosing on us. I dunno if the ambulance will be there, but that's another $200 an hour they will loose. We're pretty lucky that Denny hasn't just said to hit the road!! But if you're just really wanting another hour or two, be prepared to pay up to make up the difference because I'm pretty sure they don't want to go farther into the hole than projected with us. I'm even in the hole for this one. Castrol is gonna take everything in our pot (potentially), so I'll be out $136 for the trophies, $50 for stamps, $20 for paper, labels, envelopes... gas back and forth to town. I mean, when I set foot on their soil tomorrow morning, that's when the cash flow begins. And then when we get kicked out at 10:00am, that's when it ends. So it's a lot of money. I personally would like to see more race time, but at the cost it could be, I can't afford it myself.

lets get some of our ladys in bikini standing out on the highway with signs for spectators, 100 people at $10, would be an extra $ 1000.00 for castrol

or

any of the edmonton guys going to street legals tonight, invite some of the racers from there who would like some extra time on the track.

or

should we come up with the extra money to pay for monstor truck show?
i can see where we are paying for the drag strip, but since we are inside the gates we can just walk over and take a seat for the show pretty much for free.

im more than willing to give extra for it

whatever the numbers turned out to be in reality on a dyno,
that is nucking futs!
that's a nice improvement. whats the AFR on that tune? pretty aggresive i would think

an0malous has done it again. Thanks man i owe you big time. I doubt anyone is going to see my face by passing me tomorrow. My car is awesome now, fixed a few issues plus put the timing to 24* and we didnt see any knock at all. Still need my header/dp/exhaust though...abit restriction on stock parts

Is there street legal tonight?

well not deliberately!

Its the hard truth. I am not god. even professional tuners have engines blow, and im certainly not a pro. so people who cant really afford to have an engine blow, shouldnt be modding/tuning, or at least not from me anyway. I dont want the hassles
Im hoping it will discourage the people who are delusional about seeing 30 bagillion horsepower, and having no understanding of the risks involved in modifying and tuning.
Or more importantly, who is the one who has to accept those risks.
