Actually that 7.5 is going on a shelf, way too fast for me. Lowest I'd go at this point is a 10.5 even then that might be too much. My brain doesn't send signals to my hands like it used to.

I think if Lamar proved anything last nite besides the fact that he can whoop up on us at will, is the fact that you don't need a big motor to go fast. You almost have to say it out loud for it to sink in, 17.5 blinky, 34 laps, 13.9 fast lap. His car was rotating like a MOFO last nite, Fraz's car looked good as well. Clearly driving mod helped him get to this point, We need to have a mod class even if we have to combine a few classes. Just my .02

Not true, I did a few laps with it before the truck race. The grinding noise coming from the diff convinced me to not race it. I need to tear it down and rebuild it. Plus that motor is too fast for that track and my driving.

I'm going to buy a 10.5 from Joe B, I liked the feel of your truck when I drove it.

13.9, Lamar? Really? Track must be grippier now that it's warmer...

My B4/B44 buggies need some work, so I'm thinking I'll be there tomorrow with my Team Car and Avante for some vintage shenanigans (and my SC10 for its second to last race before I convert it to a T4.1). Should give me a good excuse for getting owned...and I miss running them...

Oh, forgot to mention...

@ Trevor, if you plan on being at RCHR tomorrow, I'll give you my share of the registration fee for the endurance race (or as James calls it, the "enduorence" race).
