Well I enjoy NSCA style drag racing and attend as many as I can. I was interested in running in EFI but was unable to because of my body modifications (8 inch chop top astro van) you know those bricks are awfully swoopy (as I have been told)!!!
I go to watch and help with my friend the former (and soon to be 3 time NSS champ).
I also have another friend that may be running, if so I'll try and help him also.
I take my van and run the Ohio races if they are running Brackets on saturdays.
If anyone is going to the Cleveland AutoRama I'll see you there, just find the group of vans and I'll be there (check out my avitar)

That was taken during a burnout contest.
Tried to pop the tires but after about 3 minutes of high gear I got a little nervous about taking the quarters off.

Well the last real time I got to go was at Quaker for Test and Tune the Fri nite of the NSCA race. (remember the rain and golf cart races on Saturday).
I went a 12.80 on the motor and a 12.30 with the juice.
I don't think I was getting everything out of the bottle though.
So I'm going to a good friend of mine and Kevins in the spring to get things fine tuned and hope for 11's.
