Carlisle Update 04/17/04

Just got a notice from Carlisle stating that we have a tent for sure and it will be set up in the Turbocoupe area.

Trophies and cash prizes will be presented to the top four clubs based on registration.

I still only have 2 more pre-registration forms to mail in on May 5. It is now only 18 more days until the last mailing and the last chance to take advantage of the $35.00 club pre-registration fee. If you are planning on going and haven't registered yet, now is the time to get serious. By the time I get your request and mail it out and you get it back to me, it is going to be close on the time.

Just an FYI for everyone attending and those who are considering it. There is going to be a 2.3 dyno challenge on Sat. at 12:00. I believe the dyno operator is setting aside time for only 2.3's to pull. I know Joe P is going to put his 500+rwhp SVO on for some pulls. I have a feeling the 5.0 guys will have an eye opening experience during this little challenge. Should be numerous 300+rwhp cars pulling.

mods: SDS Digital Fuel Injection, ported & polished big valve head(1.89/1.59), Esslinger roller cam #2277, Esslinger adj. cam pulley, custom upper and ported lower intakes, 60-1 stage III .63 turbo, powerstroke intercooler, 60mm throttle body, 75pph injectors, Walboro 255HP pump, Kirban adj. fuel reg., ATR header, 3" exhaust with Dynomax Ultraflow muffler, MSD 6al, MSD coil, MSD Launch Control, MSD 8.5mm wires, K&N filter, Spec stage III clutch, Greddy Profec B boost controller, Weld Draglites with M/T ET Street 26x11.5/15

I have a feeling ,with my luck, I'll go on the dyno and something will blow. Its a long 400 mile push back home.

I will still be driving my TC, but will not be putting it on the field. Really need to spend some time with my fiance, that is the main reason why I am coming up. I will def be there, and meet all of you. I need to get stuff ready for our wedding. plus the car will still be horribly ugly, just trying to get the drivetrain and interior together before the body.
