Agree with the above replies CobraDan..................that was good stuff.

Hey Blitz, I would view Tommy's cancellation as a forfeit and take the money and run!

Mighty nice of you to change the date. However, I would negotiate and say a date change will cost him the ability for you to change your tires to something that isn't going to spin all the way down the track.
Honestly, it probably won't be much of a race without your ability to go to AVONS or drag radials.

As for everyone wanting to hear about Blitz's car from KC, what is there to know that we don't already? It's a Shelby alum block 510-511 with KC heads. Knowing if they are Stage II or Stage III heads would be nice, but either way, my guess is the engine has got to be putting out upper 600hp to lower-mid 700hp figures.
Hey Keith, what tires were you running when you were in Ohio? Looked like BB's to me, but which ones?

I can tell everyone this....................My friend Dave had an SPF (which is heavier) with a KC built Shelby alum 527 (similar to KC's engine in his personal car, and probably not too far off from Blitz's engine) and he ran low 10's on 15" Yokohama street tires (back when they were available). I think they were AVIDS. He would also get kicked off the track at Route66 in Chicago for not having a full cage. They get pretty upset when you make passes at 140mph in a car with no top.
This might be Blitz's problem if he gets a low ET or a high trap speed.
