Well I'm not sure if anyone paid attention but we didn't run well in Pomona. We got off to a ok start in Q1 with a 6.62. the next 2 runs blew the tires off. It was a tricky track and with the amount of good cars we needed to be aggressive on the starting line. It was really close on Q2 & Q3 on getting down. I feel we would have got in but at 16. After Pomona I felt we were still missing something. I know everyone thinks we don't have the HP to compete but I know we do. So we get a red eye flight Sunday night back to the shop. We had a motor on the dyno that I had been thinking about for a while. I tried to Dyno it before we left for Pomona but we ran out of time. The motor is a clone of what I ran back in 2017 with all the upgrades I learned over the past 5 years. My wife and I make 10 pulls on it and we think it's pretty good so we ship it to Phoenix.
Q1 Phoenix 6.62 but I can see a lot more left in the run than Q1 Pomona. Q2 6.59 with a lot left in the run. Q3 6.57 with still at least 3 hundreds left in it. E1 I was trying to be .000 and you just can't race like that and I go red but we go .960 60 ft ties two other cars for the best 60 foot of first round. I'm excited about the how the engine comes off the two step. It's just one race but we're on 2 something. Our Q3 pass is the best run any Mopar has ever made on fuel injection.
Unfortunately I won't be driving my car in Gainesville Stefan Ernryd from Sweden has rented my car. I will be driving my second car. The last time I drove it I crashed so hopefully I goes better than that.
If anyone is at the Gators stop by.

The amount of work to try and do this is mind boggling. Especially in a day where larger teams have the time, manpower, and run a more common platform. I admire your perseverance.

Thanks for the updates. I had noticed that you had picked up substantially so that didn't go unnoticed. I am excited to see the progress !!

I’m sure the other race teams admire you as much if not more than we do. They know exactly what you are up against money and team wise. Keep up the great work. Those 60 foot times are killer!!!
