A little more background on the car......I spent a couple of years playing around at the Drag Strip with this car .....mainly from 2002 thru 2007.......I had the car dialed in to run consistantly in the low 11's and high 10's............Now, after getting the car to run that good, I was told not to come back until I put a roll bar in the car as it was well below the 11.50 requirement for that Safety feature.........But....I didn't want to cut the car up and do that.....so.....I basically just put the car in the garage and it just sat.....I drove it on the street a couple of times and took the cold Nitrous Plugs out and put normal Heat Range plugs in........and it sat......
So......In 2007 I trailered the car down to the Super Car Reunion and decided to run it down the track....The crew at the track told me not to run the car on spray......and I wasn't going to.........LOL....But.....When I pulled the car up to the line that little troublemaker sitting on my shoulder (Well...Just say'in....).......so......As soon as I left the line I hit the NOS button and figured I would just make one run and put the car back in the trailer...........So.......I was looking to run in the high 10's.....when I got my time slip it showed that I ran an 11.45......WTF..........

I really never drove the car again as it just sat in the garage.......on my Grandson's 16th Birthday I gave him the car and he seldom drove it also............So.....As I am pulling the car apart today getting ready to pull the engine out.....I pulled the spark plugs out to get the headers off.......And......I find that 2 of the plugs had the electrodes burned off........Duhhh!!......I never put the cold plugs back in and the nitrous took the electrodes out......with the camshaft in the car it was hard to tell it wasn't firing on all 8..........Now I know why it slowed down............

At least they couldn't complain about the missing roll cage running that time.
