I am heading to Thompson this morning. If anyone is going be sure to stop over and say hi.

Yeah...a little. The headwind was killer though. I finally got to spray it with my 100 horse kit. Still having issues getting my one tire to hook up so I was spraying it about 30' out. My best was 11.79...here's an 11.81 video.

I realize this isn't everyone cup of tea for a racecar, but I am loving it. Once I get a converter and posi in it I should be able to lean on it hard off the line.
Still not too bad for a car that is getting 25 mpg to and from the track.

On a side note, the car is very consistent. To start the day off I ran 12.58, 12.60, and 12.58 on 3 hot laps (no nitrous). It should be a good car for the street class.

nice runs on the Chally Tony
looks to be a killer car for bracket racing, are you getting use to the lights with it over the demon ?

AFco offers the drag pak shocks for the car in kit form.
give me a ring if you decide to upgrade them

Can't find the tree just yet...but it will come with some seat time.

I will get with you on the shocks....are they supposed to help plant the IRS rear?
