Wanted to verify that there is NO weight break for the 28" tire this year. Have to hop on some sheet metal work if this is the case. Thanks.

The 28" tire actually had the fastest 60' of the series by a bunch. Does it really need a weight break???

Well, with the 4 link/ladder bar weight adder being changed you get to weigh less correct? And Charlie and others using the 28"/drag radials having to add 50 lbs, I guess this is a Win/Win situation for your Pontiac eh?  |

I bitch and moaned all off season behind everyones back plotting away to get weight put on the other guys. At last, I finally have an upper hand with my non-max effort combination and I can live my dream of being a heavy hitter in the high paying heads up n/a world.  On a side note, the #1 qualifier at the last race, you know the guy from Michigan who layed down the fastest pass ever in 10.5, he got a weight break also... |

Where did you get whacked with weight? Were you running the 28? I know you got 25 off for the rear suspension.

Last year it was plus 75 for ladder bars and 4-links, this year it is plus 50 for the same so every ladder bar/4-link car got a 25lb weight break.

If I can be convinced to spend quality time with Kristen, I'm sure it would be a hell of alot easier to get your other half to buy go fast parts.  |

I got one for you to try, you just need to get the converter. I'm not saying a stick is faster or slower but looks like a hell of alot more fun. |

If I had your money I could do that since I would need to hire a crew of 3 to work on the dam thing. One on the clutch, 1 on the motor and 1 to keep the beer cold. |

Taking a dive/choking under pressure. They both end with the same result.  |
