I will be running the car in Ultra Street at Cecil, MIR, and Atco. Also planning to make first hits at the Battle of the States Race in Memphis this March.

Front Optic Armor windshield is in.... Ron Rhodes makes it look easy (and like it came from the factory)

Finally got to Cecil County and made some passes

Did some testing on friday. First hit off the trailer spun the tires. Next hit went a 5.47@133.4. By end of the night friday had worked it down to a 5.29@134.4

Raced yesterday Q1 went a 5.27, Q2 went a 5.25. Lost first round with a 5.21@136.8

Im very happy with the progress so far, Rhodes built one hell of a chassis that is simply working it *** off.

Rodney at RPM Transmissions and PTC got me one badass TH400 and converter, and it is taking everything I throw at it and wanting more.

The BES powerplant with Induction Solutions nitrous is simply amazing.

I saw the car there, didn't get a chance to snap any photos of it. Seems like it was running well.

I'll catch you at the next SCSO and snap some photos for you.
