Two years ago I set forth on a quest to have one of the quickest and fastest true backhalf Outlaw 10.5 cars in the world. We run a BAE 521" Hemi for power. At SCSN this past weekend we attained 2 of our goals. One was to go 200 MPH(204.96 best) and the second to run under 4.00(3.973). We also won in one class(No time Big Tire) and R/u'p in Outlaw 10.5. We need a few more hundredths to be the quickest but I believe we are now the fastest.

Very nice work Bob. With a combination change, driver change, completely rebuilding the car and all the adversity you have had to deal with over the past few seasons i'm sure this put a big smile on your face.

Anything near 200 in a back half car is impressive but at almost 205 you killed and barbqued it.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Thanks for all of the kind replies. It was a rather long journey with a bunch of expensive missteps but I think we now have something to work with. I was always fortunate enough to have the best driver(Giuseppe Gentile) and the best crew chief(Jason Pettis) so I knew we'd eventually get it right.

Quickest side by side Outlaw 10.5 race ever. Unfortunately we were on the losing side. The track was getting cold and I wimped out on the tuneup. We definitely had more to throw at it but we took our best(conservative) shot and came up a couple of hundredths short.
