8.77 @ 155 na Hello everyone, as some may know I sold my car last year and the new owner has been really out there testing. He added a set of wheelie bars to the car and has been doing well. He went 8.84 then 8.82, 8.79 then 8.77 all at 155 mph. He is gonna switch from c14 to Q16 next week and see what happens, good luck Michael.

I talk to him about once a week, the 1st time out he did about a 200 ft wheelie and did some damage, since then he has gotten used to it and is running really well. Once he gets the clutch to work like it should he should be able to go low 70's. He is only going 1.33 sixty ft's. My last time out it went 1.24. We will see he is racing again next weekend.

Glad to see the people who bought the car are still pushing the envelope with it. Matt always did well with the car and I feared we wouldn't hear about it again. Please keep us informed on the cars progress!!

hi guys & girls raced on friday & saturday i had the car set up very aggressive for the good air on friday night but the track was very poor it smoked the tyres as soon as i let the clutch still ran 8.86@155 with a 1.36 sixty so parked it for the night, on sat i had to run sponsors down the track all day so had to take it easy on them 
but still managed 8.81@154.7 with a 180lb passenger(general manager ppg paints) 1.31 sixty so i will be back out very soon & keep you all informed thanks for all the comments
