I was sooo hoping to get up there. With that air, I should have been close to the record.

Just finished the 6pt cage so I don't have to hide from the track officials.

That's the only track related work. I am doing some dress up work on the engine bay (no chrome). Trying my hand at painting. Also re-did the stereo and putting in a wideband O2.

Sheryl, though, is going crazy. She is looking to run Top ET. Pretty much rebuilding her entire car. Nitrous, suspension, new dash, new electrical, fuel system, etc, etc. Glad I don't have to pay those bills. When her husband gets back from Iraq he's gonna have a cow.

Leo has a quite a que of people and I was lucky to get in. It might mean that I will be late this year but I know it will be worth the wait.

Motor will be done this month & the car goes to Neverlift/Carrolls Rod and Racecraft on February 9th.

They're 12.2X31, but I have run 14X32 and there's room for more if needed!

Thanks, have to thank Ranger for the video, and it's just a SBC, all motor/PG I'd been playing around with shock adjustments and where I put the ballast in the car. I wanted to get away from the big wheelies like in the sig. but wanted to carry them out 50-60' a foot up without the wheelie bars.
