Default MY car is GONE!

To Nebraska Chassis that is. Wes (the owner) met up with me in Chi-town at Speed Inc. They were having a dyno day for the MFBA. The Speed Inc. staff was extremely hospitable, very nice shop and dyno set up. I also got a chance to nose around Chris Sikora's Camaro (Cover Car for the latest issue of GM Hi-Tech). What a nice car! Wes definately has his work cut out after looking at a car like Chris's, the bar has been raised about 10 notches.

Thanks to Wes for taking the trek to Chicago to pick up my car!

When the red rocket returns I will have a NHRA cert on my cage and a chassis set up to cut low 1.30 all day. Wheelie bars not required! I will keep you all posted.

Here are a few pics of the drop off and a few of the engine progress. I plan on doing the initial tune at Wheel to Wheel on their engine dyno.

Off to Nebraska Chassis

Engine Progress

Oh yea, the fat guy is Chris aka "Jelly" and that green F-250 is my new tow truck.

I have the same basic set up but am going with a bit more compression. I am planning on getting the car to hook and go this year. The 9.40 run was with a NX digital delay and only went 1.69 60ft. I wish I could have stayed there at Speed Inc longer but I had to hit the road. I would have liked to shoot the **** for a while.

Louis, I will probably get to meet you at the N vs S event. Tell your dad to call me, we played phone tag a couple of times but he is hard to get a hold of.
