Damon Kuhn - 10/14/14 03:07 AM

A big thank you to Damon Kuhn of Diamondback Racing, who has been so welcoming since I moved to Houston. He has made some adjustments to the car and despite high humidity and poor track prep, thanks to Damon, the car has ran a new best of 9.01 at 149. With better air and better track conditions, the car should run in the high 8's. I feel very fortunate to have Damon in my corner, he builds race engines, carburetors and knows chassis. He does it all.

Damon is good people and he knows his stuff for sure. He's always helped me with any question I've had while NSS racing.

Damon and Mark Artis helped me out a great deal with my carbs and clutch selection. Glad to see that you got a chance to find some mopar guys to hang with at the track since you relocated.

Damon is a different kind of guy but he is a great guy with a bunch of knowledge! Glad to hear you have some of the bugs worked out. I am sure if you asked him he already has something in mind to build you to go faster!

Way to go Tom! The race is on. Closed the season with a 9.40 @ 145 on mild tune. New top end for next yr should put me there.

Thanks you guys! I think I am in trouble Kevin if we line up if you are going that fast with a mild tune. maybe next year we will all actually make it to Norwalk and we can line up! Congrats on your 9.40'pass!

You running any of the 5.80 index stuff in the Houston area? HRP has a index race coming up that I am thinking about running.

Hi Brian! I have not run any of the 5.80 races. Something to consider!
