I saw several mentions of his previous (NSCA?) car, but just curious about what it had in it and whether it was a full tube chassis car or a back half car with a cage (stock front frame/structure/steering) No matter what, that was a pretty impressive car for back then. I heard it turned out to be a 6-pack car,, and was completely restored now... Did he run his new car yet? Pics looked like it was close to ready in Feb, but I couldn't find any pics, video, or record of it making a pass. I figured someone on here probably knows.

It seemed tho that it was a 6 second motor in a 8 second chassis. Lots of tire spin.

Definitely a nice car, little overkill on the motor.

Haven't heard too much from him since a couple months ago. Some things came up and he wasn't rushing at the dyno. Join the quickest team in motorsports. Team FireCore. CustomWiresets.com

I asked the Precision Turbo guys at PRI is they knew anything about it and they had no idea what I was talking about. They had the Big Stuff 3 Pro Mod turbo Camaro in their booth that I assume would probably be a competitor in the same class? Just curious if anyone had hear anything now that the season is over and everyone's cars are back apart. 71 Cuda project 98 Ram V10 swapped to Cummins 12V auto 98 Ram 12V 5-spd Cummins Authorized Snap-On Dealer (feel free to call/email) ASE Master Certified
