an exhaust leak is not why you ran a high 15. work on your driving skills. that's 2.2 teritory. i don't care if you take the exhaust off, you should not be running high 15's.

trust me, it had nothing to do with the exhaust. the biggest leak in the world won't make you add 2 seconds to your et.

Unless the leak is causing allot of turbulence and inturn giving unwanted back pressure.

I will try to make it out to ennis but will most lilky end up at Texas raceway by fort worth.

The only bad thing about Texas raceway is that it is a 1/8 mile. Is there still talk about doing the drag strip at TMS?

Yea I have been hearing that for years and it seems the talk really picked up before I left 2 years ago. My dads company does allot of work out there and they have herd all kind of this. I think the guy who owns the track in Ennis has allot to do with it not getting built.
