The full mod list of the car is classified, but I can say it's a stock cube 346 with alot of spray.

Cameron - that's the same motor that's going in my car (just with a smaller cam). :devil:

GTP - He got out of it when it came down. Never made a full pass but we're guessing it would have gone about 9.40.

I saw a video from KC how'd he do in that? Just saw it on a trailer no action footage of it

Whatever happened to that monster hood he used to have?

He sold the hood a while ago. The black hood looks sleeker in person.

GTP - He didn't lose. ;)

Everyone is, but being as that the car is primarilly used to streetrace we can't be sharing them. I'll say that it's stock cubes, awesome heads, big cam, lots of spray.

And it'll have travel limiters next time it's out. Normally the wheels will come up maybe 18" tops and set down real nice. But it just kept going up and up this time.

Grims
11-28-2006, 01:15 PM
Damn, only 28s and it's on the bumper. So I guess 27s will be plenty for my setup.

Interesting that a professional business would build a car with the company decal and then use it primarily to street race. That seems like a pretty dumb idea.:dontknow:

I can see the benefit of the exposure but..........:poke:

Just my $.02 and I know you didn't ask for it.:cool:

It probably sees 80% street and 20% track duties. Being as that we aren't a huge shop, most of our buisness is word of mouth. Around here, if you can build a fast street car you are king. That is one of the fastest street cars in Chicago. The more races we win, the more people talk, the more buisness we get.

Too bad it was about 8 months too late. We might not have the cheapest engines out there, but our our work speaks for itself and the best way to show off our work is to stomp some ass with it.

Much like how I intend on winning the Admin/Mod Shootout! :P :cancan:

Sometime this spring, no set date yet because SOME people are to lazy to reserve us a track up there..

My vote is Cecil County Dragway. I want to see/participate in this and its fairly convenient for me and always has good air :)

well what are our options, i mean i know not everyone is exactly up to par on the safety equipment, so everyone wants a relaxed tech inspection

Grims
12-06-2006, 10:05 AM
I emailed the track here if we rented it for the day if they would relax a little on safety inspections..they sent me this back

NO.

Eh, worth a shot I guess.
