Glad to see you have it out and running. Keep pecking away and you will be a player for sure. We watched Rich Zehring a few weeks back testing, and that car of his is one bad machine. Of course with all that nitrous and 866 cubes it's no wonder  Good luck to you the rest of the year and next year.

Low 7 or a high six should fit right in.
I still have a day job.
Sikora, millen,and scarry are all well into the sixes, sikora went 6.68,and 6.69 in Chicago two weeks ago.
It is nice to see a Mopar in there racing.
Good Luck, Jack
And you were there! It's nice being able to talk about it first hand is it not?
Sorry for the hijack. Jack's my brother and we had a blast watching Doug rip em up in Chicago. And yes it is NICE to see a Mopar that looks mighty capable of competing on this level.

Rich Zehring was out with the Nova. We talked to him for a bit and looked the car over a few times. Imnpressive stuff to say the least..

Yes it is and he had us covered last year-in fact Rich was runner up to Billy Glidden in the supercar race in Vegas. His edge seems to be gone now. That is the kind of stuff it takes to be competitive in Outlaw. I think that one of his motors has well over 900 cubes-along with the 5 foggers.

Awesome car!!  I am not racing this year but reading about your car and some others here takes a little of the sting away. Keep the updates coming.

I have been to the super street nationals in Vegas and it looks like a lot of fun. I dam near needed a extra card for my digital camera I took so many pictures. Bear in mind that these guys have been at it for some time now and I don't expect it to be a walk in the park. Just want to get my feet wet and not stink the place up. I wonder how many of these contenders bent and welded there chassis, fabricated every single part and doodad , build and tune their engine in there garage. My guess in not many. I'm not complaining but I knew it was a unfair fight when I started.

Dean are you going to be running the Street Car supernats this year? I plan to be there, always a good time. Rich's car had the 866" Fulton/Pettis motor in it when we were watching him. I think he is selling that motor now for someting bigger

Doug built his car in his garage. We are fighting the same fight that you are. I think that once you get your car sorted out you will be a player. What you have accomplished is nothing short of amazing. You have all the hardware that it takes to go fast. Now you just have to make it work. That part, IMO, can be tougher than screwing the hardware together. Welcome to the PSCA Outlaw club. Now have some fun! Are you bringing it down for the Vegas Labor Day race?

Cold air will pack tighter into the motor with the same boost levels
