Esterhazy 1/8 mile drags

Who's all going? They are on Sept. 11. I REALLY hope my car will be ready. I have a guy building my engine, and so far, the crank that was in the engine before is no good. So, I found another crank, and it was no good. So the builder found me a used one that will work. Hopefully the engine gets done with enough time to get it in and ready.
 
I would really like the cage in the car before I race at all. I don't want my car to end up like my brother's. He has that greyish-white 88 Mustang GT. There was no cage in it, and now it is all bent to ****. The other stuff needs to be done before anything else.
 
Actually, to be honest, I will have Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, Vic Jr. intake, bigger carb, bored .030, 292H Comp cam, and a little bit of laughing gas. The rest of the car is..... 8.8 with 4.10 gears, beefed up T5, D&D tubular k-member, a-arms, and coilovers, 4 cyl. springs in the rear (with air bag), and hopefully a cage and subframe connectors soon. I'll also have a 4 inch cowl hood (which I didn't want, I wanted it to look stock, but it wouldn't fit under the stock hood) and big and little Centerline Convo Pros.
