Congrats Ted. I stopped by the shop and saw your other hot rod on Saturday. Looking good.

Ted progress is good. Heck you are making better time than me. I keep getting stopped by little things. Good luck and see you in Vegas.

feels good after spending so many $$$ to see some fruit!! I will really focus on getting the car all togeather once I am back from MATS. As for the Sister "La Putita" the new bullet should go in this week and maybe get her fired up by the weekend with any luck!!

Ted,
Fontana is running street legals on March 7. I'm working towards shakedown of the new combo then.
No sure now, but the street legal days used to require proof of registration, insurance and mufflers. Not sure if La Putita is registered for the street or not.

No, not sure it will be required yet..., but hoping.

The plan is to get kicked off once, and then dial it back to run 10.0's. Won't happen first few times out I'm sure, I'll need to do some chassis tuning etc to work with the new power level.
