Wish there was more pro trucks out there.

He's getting an excellent car! I've seen the car in person and its beautiful! Not to mention that car leaves straight as an arrow and had excellent 60ft. I hate to see it leave our area because I probably won't see it again as Prescott and Centerville raceway are our home tracks. One things for sure, it should be plenty ready to handle that 557. 4.40's coming soon for you guys lol

We were told this was Darrell Aldermans Pro-Stock car from the 02 season... would love to get back home and see my old friends and maybe make a pass down that track.. i made 3 passes down it back in 1985 with my new 1986 Ninja 600R bike..But this time would be bringing my 63 Indy Maxx Dart...once i get all the bugs worked out..

Just a guess on my part...I think it was the car originally intended for Geoffrion to drive before he left the team...if you look at the chassis tag Bickel put on the car it says PRO 11, which was Geoffrion's permanent number.

Re: Cousin TONY bought a New Racecar(02 Neon-Jerry Bickel ) - 04/25/11 11:53 PM
yes, Pro-11 is on the Tag...I have had a few issues with the Dart.. last time out a lash cap got loose and i bent a valve on #1 cylinder.. havent had time to pull it down and change out the valve yet.. thinking about pulling the motor and going through the whole thing and do a cam change while i have it out...so, maybe a few more months before i get back out...

Hmm, I was thinking my neighbor Lonnie Johnson has DAs 02 car, or mabe 01? I know he has a old Larry Morgan car also. Scott's black Avenger (I think 98 or 99) is here local also.

Re: Cousin TONY bought a New Racecar(02 Neon-Jerry Bickel ) - 06/09/11 11:37 PM
Well latest update.. My cousin Tony installed his 557ci Indy Motor in his new PS Neon and will be making the first passes this weekend At State Capital Raceway in Baton Rouge,La. now we expect to see some really nice numbers after he gets use to the car and should be in the low 8's as his tube chassi LeBaron was.. BUT the newest news is that his Boss,Adrian Vega the owner of several dealerships and an Airplane.(GEEEZZZZZ) he purshased from Indy today one of their 655ci Wedge Crate motor so he could watch Tony go FAST !!! what luck some people have... 1150+HP and 1000 Ft lbs ..i got a feeling that car may see the very low end of the 7's..

Re: Cousin TONY bought a New Racecar(02 Neon-Jerry Bickel ) - 06/10/11 10:00 PM
Correction Mike... just spoke to my cousin Tony and he was sitting in the Dodge dealership drooling over his new motor that has already showed up... the motor you spoke of was the one he called about but it was already sold..Indy told him they had another 655ci motor for sale but this one has the 600X heads instead of the 600-13's..(whatever those are).. it was a few dollars more and with the new dyno sheet in hand his motor makes 1224Hp and still over 1000 ft lbs..

You guys should come up to Prescott when you get a chance. It is well worth the trip with the new upgrades. That track record I spoke of got blown to smitherines last week. I now stands at 4.66 and mph record for the class is now 167mph. Keep in mind this was done on a dewy track with way less than optimal temperatures.

Re: Cousin TONY bought a New Racecar(02 Neon-Jerry Bickel ) - 06/10/11 10:35 PM
I would love to get up that way and see the old track and my friends..tony told me he is going to run the 557 Indy motor for a few weekends and get used to the car and then install the new 655 Motor plus he is on the waiting liost to have some headers built for the new motor/car.. would love to see him make a fewnasty passes down it old track...
