I knew your car would get a ton of interest. Not surprised at all. Awesome to see it perform so well. I am smiling ear to ear with ya, just to see your car made it to Fest. I sure plan to go next year.
Would be great if some of the other builds on the forum get far enough along to join in.
Just Awesome Tinker. Awesome. Congrats man! :th: :th: :th:

it's been 24 years since I had raced on the track.. Friday I started at 12.34,, after tuning i got it down to 11.94 @ 113.34 in the heat :D
I think I can get it down a few more tenths with more tuning and better air :mrgreen: I could not be more thankful for all of everyones help
with this build :th: Thank you so much!!

here is a cell phone video of my second pass Friday,, not good quality but it's all I have..
