Re: March 14th Championship Post Event

Thanks for the reminder Steve! :cool: My drag racer mentality never thought about taking out the nitrous to go racing! It was not on ever during the event (or I would've flown through the parking lot even faster). It will be left in my garage next time (4/12).

I think my front setup might be OK (for a 69 chevy) - C5 spindles, 13" front rotors/discs, Speedtech front upper control arms, adjustable front shocks, 255-50 ...
