Dave's Predator ran well at the drags and at the hill.
He and my buddy, Sand Predator, both had new engines built this summer.
They ran the hill like 6 times Friday night.
Both cars are quick.

I'm using a Canon 20D with the cheap 70 to 300mm zoom lens. I don't change the lens when I'm out in the desert or you get alot of dust on the sensor. Each trip I use canned air to blow out everything but the sensor (use a rocket blower for that) and clean up the lens. The lens works alright when there is enough light, but once it gets dusty and the sun starts to set the pictures aren't as clear.

Actually Dave was withen a cars length, and your right I believe he is losing due to the fact he can't keep it on the ground and the thought of going thru the gears while standing it up actually scares him ! his car weighs around 2200lb, and mine is at 3500lb he should be able to pull me every run, And now I will never give him the oppertunity again this season, heck I dont need to, I already beat him 3 times isnt that enough punishment.

OK. Why don't we just flop out our dicks and see who has the biggest one. I know I can't win that one but it would make more sense. If you are going to talk s*** at least get your stories straight. None of this bulls*** is true about Dave wanting more hp. There is plenty of hp in that motor but he needs to figure out how to get it to the ground. He didn't even spray the second stage of nitrous yet (good for another 100 hp). Dave probably has about $20K into his motor and I would guess you have at least $30K. You can buy alot of hp for an additional $10K. Give Dave a few more trips to work out the bugs in his new motor and you will be going back to your engine builder for more hp. Lets all get along and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
