Went to a wedding reception today and it turned out the groom is one of those middle-aged "reformed bachelor" types...the house decor was kind of a crackup. Anyways, he is a serious NHRA drag racer of some sorts. Car is a Pro Stock Pontiac with an alum-head 583(?) CI Chebby, MSD crankfire ignition, large alloy radiator, and a bunch of other electronics and stuff I didn't really recognize. The carb was about the size of a dinner plate, and he is thinking about going to duals. The header collectors were like 4-5". I think they said it runs mid-8's or so.

What a trip. I have never really been around this "crowd" before. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
