Hi Guys! Just thought I would share some pics of the updates that have been happening with Golddigger. HardcoreB has me succumbing to peer pressure and has me wanting to try my hand at heads up racing. The plan is to get out to Milan Dragway for their Friday Night Heads Up Series. They have an entry level class called Motor City Muscle that we want to try. I never realized how much work it would be to get a car ready for a class. Still have a long ways to go!!!

Hi Mike. The class is set up for mid 9 second cars. Max cubic inch of 565, 4150 carb, 10.5" max tire. There are weight breaks and penalties for different engine combos. Hope that we can run in the thick of things.

Looks good Randy. i hope this class takes off. they need to leave the rules alone so this class doesn't get out of control like the others.

John, I completely agree. There is no way I could ever afford to run any of the other classes. DVW, I will be getting with you soon about helping out with a gear swap if you are interested!

Hi Doug! I've been trying to take some weight out of the car by going to the moly cage, ditching the bench seat in favor of a pair of lighter Kirkeys. Jim Sciortino gave me a super hookup on a Willy's custom 4150 carb. Also need to change the rear gear to a 4.10 from a 4.56. As of right now I am planning to run the 275 Pro Drag Radial, but am still not sure if I can stretch them onto a 12" wide wheel without beadlocks. Still have to have the chassis certified and put the interior back in and I really need to have the car scaled.

Thanks Steff! BondoBob, BobsProFab did the cage and parachute mount. He did a super job and turned it around pretty quick too.
