Yes it is his car. That's the match race I set up for him at PAO in Vegas last year.

The link isn't working, but go to archives 1/13/09 and click on the watch video link. It's at the opening.

Yep that would be mine...I guess I am honored that they chose my bucket of bolts as one of the cars used for their new intro. Yes that was in Vegas at the All Out event. I spoke to Lucky and Diane they were nice folks...BTW it launches a bit harder now with the extra 200 HP

Are you going to Mopars at the strip this year?

I am making it, hopefully the car will too...Was planning on making it last year to but the engine had another idea a couple weeks before.

How about you are you planning on bringing that beautiful machine of yours down for some fun?

That's the plan and thanks, but I don't know what I'll be able to do. My car will only cert to 8.50, so I have to put a throttle stop in it, or tune it down to that and try the S/P class or quick 16 if that's fast enough to be in the game. How fast was the class last year?

Thanks for fixin the link Rick

Props to you Al

i think i need to upgrade to a T-1 line. that file is 137 Megs.

Yeah it is a big file, the show is an hour long

DT-Not sure how fast your car normally runs. Here is something to keep in mind though. Vegas is an altitude track(2200' IIRC) and the DA's can get high. Although early in the year the air can be pretty good.

As for the Q16 deal. The bump is usually into the 7's. The first year it was almost 9.0 IIRC. I was gonna try and run the Q16 knowing I most likely wont qualify and get bumped back to S/P. The good news is the Q16 guys dont spend near as much time in the lanes as S/P does. Be great if you make it, maybe we can get a few of these Barracudas together for a little Moparts picture with the Chris's as well.

I saw it also,car looks sharp Al

Yeah, I hear ya man. 2200 is high for sure. The new motor will put it under 8.5's by its self, but if I leave the nitrous converter, and rear gear in place it should kill it off the line enough to keep it close to an 8.5, or maybe above.

the plan is just to be there, but I would obviously like to be in a class that I could at least be somewhat competitive in. I wanted to run the Mopar Muscle true street thing, but it looks like pump gas only and no pump E85. My car, I'm sure given what it is, and who's driving it will be wayyy to inconsistent to make it past round one of a S/P race, so if I don't make the Q16 I may just go show poodle, and make a couple passes for fun.
