A few pics from the Track Day.


Car ran on the motor only, gotta work out a wiring issue for the nitrous. Very happy with the car, it actually ran the time it needed to run on motor, within half a tenth of the previous cars all motor time. So the car is working the way it should!

Awesome build, brings back memories to the early 00s and seeing low mile dead stock WS6s, Firehawk's, SS' all get turned in to drag cars. Some bought brand new specifically for a drag car build.

Yeah, be careful with them, or you'll scratch that pretty paint job.
We'll get together this spring.

Was finally able to get a nitrous pass off today. Was not perfect by any means, the track just was not there, plus it was cold (About 45-50 deg all day).


Onboard view...


Here is the slip:

Whats wrong here? haha

My friend was driving - I was not in town so he's shaking it down for me.

It was cold and the track wasnt hooking very well. It spun thru the 60ft pretty good. And he let off before the 1/8th just to mess with people. :-)

Once it launches though it's pretty stable....
