I haven't washed my car yet. Maybe the dirtiness is giving me the problems? Might be more bugs then I thought with the car

ehh, all i managed to do tonight is rash the bumper, break the steering rack, crack the tranny pan wide open, and hell who knows what else, havent gotten under it yet. had to do one hell of a driving and throttling job to keep it off the wall after it came down. track told me to go home and not come back. wasnt even using the t-brake . then as i pulled onto the highway to leave the track, lost 3rd and 4th gear in my truck... drove 120 miles home in 2nd gear

been a set of them sitting on the floor for over a month. already relocated the PHR and modified the wheelie bar brackets to make everything fit. just been waiting on a lazy buddy to weld them on for me since my welder is junk. i really didnt expect it to come up like that foot braking. my previous destructive bumperstand was on the T-brake. ran a troubled 9.63 @ 142 on the pass before i broke it

All I can say is that Vince McCauley has his car up and running, and is already starting to pull some unbelievable times- even with the tuning, soft launches and shortshifting.

Go Vince!!

Good luck to all, this should really advance our field.

Steve

No doubt Vince's car is wicked, but Steve I'm curious where you're getting your ifno, the fastest I've heard Vince's car going was 9.9x on a shakedown pass that resulted in an accident. Don't remember hearing anything since.

PS, I don't think Vince's car will have anything on me.
