Sorry for the lack of details long weekend with those two clowns.

The car is a stock suspension setup with a PA racing front end and a BMR custom torque arm with spherical bearings instead of bushings. I have the first and only one made like it that I know of.

The roll cage is an Ed Quay design. It has 275 Mickey's Drag Radials. The motor is just a 23 degree small block with Brodix -10 heads and it has an old Doug Nash pro shifted 5 speed in it. Car is all steel except the hood which is a GlassTech carbon fiber piece.
The time slip is pretty bad as it only went like 13.1 @ 123mph. The sixty foot was 1.74 and the 660ft mph was around 97mph. The car spun and went hard right only launching it at 4600rpm, so I had to get out of the throttle. It was the first pass and I wanted to make sure everything was working. Hopefully next time out it will go in the 140's on motor.

Still it was a blast since the last time I actually had my own car down the track was when I had a 10 second Vega about 10 years ago. Damn that is a long time ago. Hopefully I can sneek out of work early enough to get down there again this week.
Chris thanks for the pics and Kevin learn to work your video camera.
