Waiting on more news, good progress, even if there where some bugs to fix, which is expected in a new car.

Car ran good as far as I am concerned we had issues with the lenco Friday so we never had the chance to make a hit till sat after that we had adjuster and push rod issues. We fixed them and went on to the pass. The first run car went 4.58 @ 134. The next run was only a 5.03 not enough to get in but that's okay. we are going to make 1 more run today and see how it does. All in all I had a great time can't thank Lonnie and Scott enough for all their hard work all weekend and the regular guys that help me week in and week it would have never happend without them.

after all the tradgedy of losing an entire car in a fire that never made it to the track. Plus the adversity and stone busting we all did that Jimmy has gone thru over the last few years I am very happy for my friend.
This guy never quit trying and that counts for a bunch. Kudo's to him and let's hope we see that 3

He's all fixed up and on the road again The car is going to be one bad biotch when they get it all dialed in

Had a blast and learned a bunch...great crew. Have a ton of info and video, but will leave that for Jimmy to tell.

Congrats on your first weekend of testing!!

I'm VERY glad that you didn't have to sell the car like you thought you would.

You really deserve to do well with this mean machine after all you've been through!

IMO, Super great passes for the First time out TNT! IMO the 4.57 and a 4.58 runs equate to some 7.2? runs in the 1/4. That car has some easy 6.?? in it, once the bugs are worked out.

To break into the 3,??s in the 1/8 will take some more serious tuning. That would equate to a 6.30 1/4 run or so.

That would be way faster then what I thought you were shooting for, Jimmy. Great Job, mike

I just got home and what a weekend. The last run we had today the car ran a 4.57 @ 160, he let off before the 1/8 and the car ran a 7.65 @ 130 to the 1/4. It was a good weekend. It had it's issues and again I can't thank everyone who helped us get it done.


Shortly I will try and get some video up.

man thats great Jimmy, you should be very proud of your accomplishments with that car. it would have been very easy to sell it off, and just wash your hands of the whole deal, but you didn't. you hung in there and made it happen..congrats
