thanks bob and you can turn a phrase every which way but loose. evolvo when i was in baltimore i was 7. wish i was there when i got older. you learn alot in the city really quick. the track i am going to is the richmond dragway in sandston va. just a few miles from me. the big boys years ago used to run there before nhra got too big for the smaller tracks. the ihra runs it now and it is a great place to get your car dialed in. though i know that i can never beat a vette that can take a cts-v i am going to do at least one pass. if everything holds together and i do not end up burning the tires off my car.
