I never hear much about swap meets , I guess E-Town is the only good place for swap meets , and sorry , names dont ring a bell , but then again im really just a weekend worrior , I only ran in a few NMRA events , almost won the 14sec flat award last summer but lost it to a 40s hotrod by a few tenths

That is a great ET for your mods. Sounds like your GT is running very strong.

Well done! Good to see your new mods are working.
I'm surprised you can even run at a track that cold. Here in Vancouver BC, if it gets into the lower 60's the track gets too wet.
