Tyler,
Bill has underwear that where old before you where born. Wondering what his are made of.
Enjoy the youth thing dude, it leaves quicker than T/F with screwblower at 125% od and 3 nitrous systems on a perfect track.
I know its hard to believe all the things you hear about one day you wake up and your 50 ,ok 47 close enough to see how fast life goes by.But they are all true.

Digger its all going to come down to, HOW MUCH MONEY you want to spend, and HOW MUCH HELP can you get to run the car. I know with my slow rinky dink operation its even something I could never do alone. At least 1 person is needed to get it done unless you are a professional athlete by trade, LOL that you are not. Keep it simple and it can be done with 1 extra person to help, make it a BB blown injected alky operation and its a whole new level of money and help needed.
A realistic minimum of 3 extra people to make that happen smooth, 1 to drive the tow and keep it organized, 2 to start the car and get you in the groove after your burnout. Then comes the money part for the extra maintenance. My wife shot this Wednesday, I am driving up behind in my easy on parts low budget car following A mean blown SBC FED, it ran in the high a 6 second # if I read the board right. I cant find anyone to help with my car so its just me and my wife to make it happen, I made my pass and drove back to the trailer.
Heres the car running, man that thing was mean. Sorry the distance from the line to my wife was far, but the sound is all there.

I wish that I had known that it was you with the altered. I saw the car but we were a bit shorthanded with the dragster and actually it was just Mark (the owner) and me until just before we ran and then Mark's son arrived with the tow car. We only made the one run which was a 7.04 at 193+. After it wanted to run in the sixes at Bowling Green (on a 7.0 index) the previous weekend we took some timing out of it and did not change the pill despite the fact that the air was 2000 feet worse at IRP. It was real rich on the top end but ran the number that we were looking for.

I thought that was Mark's, I'm still running his tires and wheels.
