Lets just say I have been trying real hard and having fun... ...I have been to 2 NHRA divisionals went 3 rounds in Spokane. I have been to 5 of the 7 NHRA open's so far and I am sitting 3rd in points mostly because of participation rather than stellar performances. I am actually getting ready to leave Thursday morning for the division 6 ET Finals...looking forward to that. The closest I have came to a win was a runner up at the Woodburn Mopar Nationals. I have vastly improved in a years time as a driver in Super Pro. As well as slowly tweaking the car into shape. Just got the converter back today from PTC, hoping that loosening it up will help with 60' consistency and maybe pick up some ET. Looking forward to some good fall weather for some new bests...

Well since its a factory body, at the A-pillar where the windshield lays there are 2-3 layers of steel I was referring to that area as pinched-welded. Off my cage A-pillar tube I bent 3/8" chromoly tubing that lays against the "pinch-weld" and is welded to it. Make any sense? Not sure if you've seen my build video? Its kinda dated now since I've done so much to the car since the video, but it'd kinda show you how I put the car together... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_MXjykHDY

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
