<![CDATA[Craigslist Challenge]]>Things are getting hot in Fox Valley. You have $1300 to spend on a car/truck/van from Craigslist in Wisconsin for a 1/4 mile drag race. You cannot spend any money modifying it or remove weight.  Your life depends on it.  

Post what you would bring to the race.  Bonus points for quoting the original 1/4 mile times
