I finally got enough of the PO out of my new racecar to allow me to start racing it. At my second event this past weekend - I went to the semi-finals. I ran it out the back door on purpose trying to beat my best time since the track had just been prepped before my run and I got a good hook. Me and the other guy both broke out - but I broke out by MUCH more (dialed an 8.20 ran a 8.08!). Got to bring the wife and daughter and we camped out - was a great weekend. Seems my car likes the 1/8th mile better than 1/4 - especially since I just swapped in some 4.88s.

Prepping the hotrod for track duty:

Cool Little car. The majority of colts I see (which isn't many) are all full chassis cars. I like yours a lot!

Congrats on the good showing as well. Test and tune opens up around here march 1st, looking forward to taking the car out.

Thanks much! I am amazed at all the attention it gets. Every time I go to the staging lanes there are at least 5 older guys that come and look the car over - then tell me what a nice car I've got. All the young guys call it a turd but you should see the long stares it gets - like watching someone look into a crystal ball.
