This has been a long time coming but we finally got it to the track. Just got two runs in before the rain fell.

It is a 499 that was built by Adkins Engine & Head Service out of WV. Hemmy is a very good builder and has been racing 4 speeds in Super Stock for 30+ years. Damon from Diamondback Engines built the carbs.

There is a lot of adjusting to be done on the Afco shocks and front end travel, but got caught by rain. We are going to try to test in the next couple weeks. A four speed on mono leafs is a challenge but can be accomplished with testing.

I can't take credit for that pass, that was Sam from DRI making sure the car didn't do anything crazy.

Greg the car looks, sounds and runs real nice


Looks like all the hard work paid off and now the fine tuning begins. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person somewhere this year.

Congrat's Greg on finally getting it done and running.
It has been a LONG time since you started on it after getting rid
of the RR. I miss our days in the Muscle street class.

Maybe we will see you at Josh's race.
Take Care, David

Had to feel good to get it out after all the work you've done. I love the sound of a stick. Hope to see you at Bowling Green or Norwalk.

60' -- 1.422
330'-- 4.269
1/8 -- 6.595
MPH -- 105.23
1/4 -- 10.302
MPH -- 133.15

There is room for improvement in the 60' time which will equate to quicker 1/8 and 1/4 mile times. The fun begins with all the fine tuning!
