’04 Honda S2000 powered by a Honda F22 (inline-four, 2156cc, SOHC, 16 valves) with a Borg-Warner 80mm turbocharger that competes in the SS/DX (Super Stock/D Experimental) category on a stiff 9.05 index.
Bales’ Honda features a bolt-in 4-link and a Ford 9-inch rear, along with a full gamut of AEM Electronics products, including a 4-channel wideband, 4-channel EGT, and the EMS Series 2 plug-and-play engine management system.

This wicked little ride runs on 26-inch tires, still sports the 100-percent stock chassis with no backhalf or mini-tub work, no sissy sticks (wheelie bars), no wing, and puts in the neighborhood of 1,100 horsepower to the pavement.

That's very, very impressive. They'll find a way to outlaw it as soon as the old school guys start complaining.

The owner/driver Carey Bales has mentioned elsewhere that the car was raced at 2605 lbs...625 over the SS/DX minimum.

I wonder if he is related to Bob Bales

Yep: The wife's car runs 13's. More than 2HP/CI stock. And then the stupid thing handles and stops too.

Sheldon

He is related to Don Bales who has the SS/AH Silver Bullet Barracuda.

The Honda chassis was done by Mike Roth of MR2 PERFORMANCE. Mike made the four link a complete bolt in assembly

Carey will be at monster mopar testing a few drag Pak cars. He will also have the Honda there making some Saturday night after hours passes.

Stock block stock crank and stock head...

174+ MPH with a 92" wheelbase? I'll watch from the stands.........

Didn't he drive a Drag Pak car? I think he was #2 qualifier at Indy a couple years ago with a DP. Maybe Merryfield's car?

I talked to him at 41 last year when he was testing the DP before Indy. Very nice guy.

I'm no import lover, but this car is bad and deserves respect.

Yep, same guy.

Carey is a great dude for sure!!!

No relation to either Bob (west coast racer) or Don. But a lot of good laughs about it. He drove the Minuteman Missle to a 10.00 in E/SA in 2010. Pretty impressive. He also drove a Drag Pak stocker at this years Indy race.
