Frito, I think he's talking about this one.
yea.. the orange RR is an all steel car... new build and a new driver! Good friend of mine.. car gets faster with every pass! Went 8.87 at 152.. lots more in it... haven't even turned a tuning screw yet! That was only about the 15th run on the car and about the 12th pass for a new driver!
Question for you.. I own the 5 & 50 car... been having some traction issues lately.. Can you tell me when that pic was taken? Sat. or Sunday? was playing with tire pressures and are way low in that pic.. trying to put a time line on it. Certainly was not the track...it was GREAT. Im beginning to think that as those Goodyears age they need more pressure to help the weakening side walls.. have about 60 passes on them. Tried adjusting rear shocks but the car was spinning and shaking the tires no matter what we tried.
Thanks..

Either one looks killer to me! You and Ralph  need to get fixed and out again. 
Frito, we're both still running. Ralph has been working weekend's and I run off a Pro Tree exclusively, so I wouldn't be worth 2cents on that Full Tree.

The pic of the 5&50 car was taken Saturday, and I believe that was the second qualifier.

Looks like you need more air pressure by the wrinkles all around the tires or the sidewalls are gone on those slicks.

It's an FJ Smith car, very nicely done. The owner is getting a handle on a car for that speed and is getting faster with every outing.
