I wanted to take mine up the strip this year as last time I did it in the Chally I made a right pigs ear of it and done a 17-something!
But still not cured this bloody 'pinking' problem on full acceleration, so I'm not taking a chance in case I break it.

Finally got a couple of nice big chunks of titanium dropped into the old knee so am on the mend. Hoping to have a hobble around on Sunday if AndyR goes in his Fury. See you all there

Just got to put a bit of polish on the Demon and we're about ready. Nicola says that it's apparently my turn to take a car up the strip so it'd be rude not to set a time? Are 7 1/4 axles really made of glass? I don't want to break it!

will stand 500hp easy you wont be hurting it,,
I doubt my cali-spec smogger 318 is making a third of that? I'll just play it safe this year... drive around the water, no burnout and walk it away from the line gently.
A timing ticket to see what she does bone stock is the only goal this year.

Going big with the shop car got that 25.1 Camaro on the go now boosted lsx is on its way

Gates open 9am Friday for general admission and I don't think they close them until end of play Sunday, so I would imagine they will be open whatever time you turn up on Saturday?
I say open Friday for general admission cos I've just learnt this week that the pro mods (at least) get to go in on Thursday
