only one stipulation man... you and dewitt bring your hot rods by my trailer so i can chop those suckers down to a more appropriate length
and just for the record... there is another 'sean'.... who? what? (only kidding dewitt!!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah............we know our car epitomizes the term "transformer", but it's all we got right now. We have plans on choppin' her down in the future, but we figured our money would be better saved to get this 8-71 truck anchor off the top of this thing and save for one of those 4-foot, 21-71's you got!
but your gonna have to be patient for your whoopin... cause the line is growing: dewitt... chris white... randy "what's his name".... am i forgetting anyone?
Well, I just got through going over the numbers from Eddyville a couple of weeks ago and surmised that the paddle you pictured is likely not for any "whoopins" you plan on handing out, but rather for Scott to whack you on the a$$ when the ambers flash! With those reaction times, Scott will have to put about a 3.80 tune-up in her or you will be watching from the stands with my 4.30 runnin' a$$!!! LMAO!!!
Just doggin' ya', brother! It's going to be a blast!

Sean D, the best advice you will get all day today. Don't worry about changing the -71 on the top,,,fill the tank with real fuel!!!

One step at a time, Rapid! One step at a time!
BTW, I don't know if you read it or not on the fire burnout thread, but I had a nice conversation with Dave the other day. Seemed like a really cool and down to earth guy. Can't wait to meet him in Eddyville next month.

Yeah Sean D. tip the can. Hell I'm running with a little 8-71 on my car. I wont buy a 14 until I actually need it.
Sean B. bring that paddle with you so Hay and I got something to prepare you for eliminations with at Eddyville. Well actually I will need to use it on Hay also. The Cone Guppy is in hiding right now. He can't take the beating for not racing, but I know what he would say in a situation like this.
"Hey buddy...why don't you go get one of these cars, try and get it down the track against these real racers, hit something and be someone!"
Sounds like ol' Cone to me.

We hope to get to that point soon, that's for sure.
By the way, your car is bad-a$$ looking, Dude! Tell me you're going to be at Eddyville. If so, can't wait to meet up!

Coneshark is probably jawing with everyone sitting at the counter of my mom's diner in the metropolis of Wynnewood, OK.
135" isn't long...waaaaaaaaaay shorter than 260"!!! Besides...the car I'm aiming at really and truly is, was, and always will be an altered...not a funny car! Don't pick on the wheelbase...you guys will have PLENTY of opportunities to poke fun at my ride...just you wait!

I tried about everything I could think of to get more % in there.
Scott keeps a tight grasp on the nitro jug.
Sean, you think the car owners would notice we took the hot rods and went to FL over the winter???
Rapid {Good thread by the way}
heck yeah randy!! i'm there.... my people don't like the cold! we'll just 'borrow' them for a few months!

Does that answer your question William?? Hmmm
Altered's AA/FA are alive and well..
Swim on over here next month for the Eddyville thingy..gonna be a blast.
And the Hough group is worth the trip alone..let alone the Sean's..it's just a fun time.
Is the Heckler going to be there? He threw down that 3.95 last year in the semi's. Whew

I'll go out on a limb here and say a 3.95 ain't gonna get 'er done this year!
And Chris, you left on me but I didn't see you after the tree....I wonder what happened there. Oh yeah my off pace 4.13. I almost forgot after seeing that white car leave first by 2 hun. Better bring your A Game. I might just be there!
