List- Over the last couple of years a close friend and the person who sprays 
paint for me, painted an 89 or so Mustang that his son was building a 351 
stroker engine for. So late last year and last night I rode along to see how 
the car ran. We attended the multi race trac in St.Louis, where Tim (the 
owner/driver) makes his home. Its a 1/4 mile track and there where several 
pretty fast cars, including four or five running in the 8s at 155 mph.Last 
night was considered a tune night and anyone could run what trailered or drove 
in for a small $10 fee. Of course it made me want a stroker engine even more 
than ever but just seeing what kind of times I would get made me start thinking 
what I would have to do to get my Tiger track ready.
Tim did make three runs, all in the 10 second plus range and he didnt have the 
nitrous bottle in the car. He has done better but thats not what this is about. 
My question is to all the owners who do have stroker engines, some running 
nitrous, others just tons of horsepower. Im curious to know IF we have any 
members who would tell us what kind of times they have turned at their local 
track or any track for that matter. What engine size (stroked, etc) they are 
running and with or without nitrous. I know we have some owners that have some 
extremely fast Tigers and Im hoping they will share what the numbers are, mph 
etc etc and any other interesting information they would be kind enough to 
share with us wanna be go fast owners. Thanks, TonytheTiger
