Bisi...are you running on meth now w/ the f series?</TD></TR></TABLE>

I do not run alcohol at all. I run 76 prostock 118. I will be switching to VP soon.

My racing peers tell me they see about a 10-15% increase in power when converting to methanol...it may be a good idea that I stay on petrol.

Erick wasnt tube chassis...tube chassis is like Lnatural.

Erick was backhalf...and Bisi still weighed as much or less than erick.

Bisi is not a car genius. He just knows how to apply his scholastic skills. Although I'm sure that being quite smart has a little to do with it too haha
