Im at work so no , figured you would just get on his site and call the shop number....... kinda late for that now though......... I figured he is more in the know on all the drag radial records (60, engine combo's, tire sizes) then anyone.

Joe Simpson @ Tempest racing is taking care of a new fuel cell for the hot rod.

Yes, its going up front where it sits in the 1st pic. I'm heading over tomorrow to pickup some 1.25" CM tubing for the nose structure. The rear mounted cell works fine, we're trying to cut some weight between the size and the weight of the -12 SS hose.

Alot of weight to be saved by putting the cell in the nose or sure. Dropping the stock tank out of my junk, and putting a 3 gallon cell in the nose saves about 20 lbs, and that's ove the STOCK fuel lines in the car.... with -12 line you're probably looking at twice that much

2" headers for a 366? No way! I have to thank 84 Lumber for my precision flange locating fixtures aka 6x6s.

Jesus, went to pick up some tubing today, 6.50 for scrap tubing that isn't the correct size for certification. Called air parts inc. in Kansas, 4.40/ft for 1.25" .065 CM tubing. If anyone needs CM tubing http://www.airpartsinc.com/ is your spot.

Thanks, went by the welding shop today and exchanged 2 bottles of argon and picked up some filler. I've got maybe an hour between welding and finishing to get the headers finished. Shawn hopes to have the Racepak 300/EGTs/bungs here tuesday or wednesday. We're hoping to pick up another .15 next time out, 4.6x is the goal is the track is there.

WOW, I was told this was a GOOD long read... Great documentation!
I met you a couple of weeks ago at the track and asked you some questions about your car, I was standing with Arnold at the time... You had some great runs that night, I ended up leaving early though, how did you place?

Alot of the pics are gone off the server but I've got 90% of them at home. We did well friday, went to the finals and won on a holeshot. We found 2 holes in driveshaft acceleration where the car can clearly go faster.
