Hey yall,

Spotted a guy today at 5:30pm going north bound on 465 in his 2003 or so dark gray Chevy truck with a "9 seconds of silent thunder" and a "Buick Motorsports" stickers. Thumbs up back to you. Just curious if youre on here.

Anyone that wants to stop by tonight,and shoot the bull, we are at the Holiday Inn Select on 465 and Michigan. You cant miss us as youll see all the trailers and cars.

We have been in Indianapolis Indiana for the past 4 days for a national f-body event that Ive been invited for the past 3 years to bring my T-type to play with Z28's and TA's at IRP. 3 days of drag racing, road racing and autocross. We chased a couple problems with the car and finally came down to a false knock problem that has been haunting us for 2 months. Then I couldnt get my new electronic boost controller to work right and went back to the manual controller. Saturday I got some seat time with the car and ran

11.05 @ 120
11.07 @ 120
11.11 @ 122
11.09 @ 121
10.99 @ 123
10.797 @ 126

It was nice to turn the wick back up and run some good numbers.

BTW.....my brother had his 95 Procharged Z28 up here too and cranked out a new best of 10.789 @ 122 with a 1.47 60ft. Track prep fell off early in the day and never was prepped again. Heh....he just got lucky that I didnt get my turn up earlier or I would have put THE BIG HURT on him ;) .
