Great numbers.

RedC4Corvette, I have three Top Alchhol engines, 2 Keith Black 512ci Hemi and a 510ci Chevrolet both can produce 3500 hp pending how we tune it for track conditions. Sometime it's set only to produce as low as 2500 hp so it's doesn't over power hook up. There are so many things we can set/change to make a good pass, clutch, tires, supercharger/blower boost, wheelie bar, driver (me)

internal engine componets, etc.
Thanks for asking, hope this helps with your questions

Thanks-in-advance

Glensgages, I have 2 bodies one's a spare incase something happens. They are custom made for me by Carbon Fiber Mfg, in Rockhill NC. The bodies are carbon fiber, with what I'll call the firewall which is made of kevlar, this section is to protect me if we have an engine/clutch/trans explosion. Each body comes plain primer at approx $12000.00 US ea. the paint work is extra. As always, happy to answer your questions.

PRNDL, we run all over th USA & Canada. I really don't have any big sponsors (don't want them to much bulls..) we pay for everything and the cost can be staggering, as each pass cost approx $1000.00 if nothing breaks, thats extra. So as long as they are NHRA approved tracks we run them. We will be at the US Nationals/ Seattle/Branerd/Las Vegas/Ponoma again this year plus others in Canada
