Thanks for asking...

I haven't been able to mess with it much. When I first got it I was spending all of my time getting the old car ready for the big ORTC race and have just now started messing with it again. I had some very specific goals with the old turbo car (break orsca mph record on first pass, run 4.70's, qualify #1 at half my races, win atleast one big race and don't wreck) and met all of them. With the new car I only have one goal and that is to go back to the big ORTC race in Febuary and win with a completely different car and completely different power adder. We will see.....got some testing to do.

First race out is this weekend in Macon for the smallblock shootout. I have only sat in the car for 10 passes but I feel pretty good about it.

Here is the only pic I have:

What, beside wheels did you change on the car after you bought it? Any Shepard or Pro Line mods?

I figured.
Is there much of a difference appearance wise? Those tires look good stuffed under there.
