Default G-Force/Calhoun Construction FFW Race Car Pictures

Thanks to everybody who stopped by to check out the car this weekend. We got to make 4 clean passes with the nitrous on and ran a best of 9.03 @ 152.89 MPH. This was our first time out since we made all of the chassis, drivetrain, and power adder changes.

This week we're putting the big pills in, raising the wheelie bars, and aiming for an 8.7x @ 155 MPH. We're going to be racing this year in Cheap Street in Clash of the Titans.

what were your 60' times? The car sounded awesome friday. I found the problem with my car, no vacuum leak, it was the driverside O2 like you said. The car runs a lot better, thanks for your help. I may make a trip back out there next month for a clutch install and maybe a few other things.

I think it went a 1.35 on Saturday night. The bars need to come up a few inches before it will go a 1.19 like I think it will. Eventually the bars will come off and I hope we can still keep it in the 1.19 - 1.23 range.

Thats right. Chris has never driven a car this fast so we had Rick put some bars on it for him to make some passes with. Once we get the car where we want it we'll take the bars off and go do some racin'! The next COTT race is in SA in about 3 weeks. We plan on being there.

Did Hans build the motor in this car, or is that an old sticker?
