We will find out. Every race promoter I've talked to in reguards to the BB nitrous. SB TT and SB turbo know the problem exists. We should know something in the next month. I have a feeling the weights will change again. We're trying to get infront of the curve so we can run a whole season.

Good luck Phil! It would be nice if they adjusted the weights, although getting the cars down would be tough for some body styles. I always hated when Mike ran Hinzman because Hinzman was lighter by 125-150 although the rules allowed Mike to be 100 lighter, he just could not get it out last year. I know he is going to work on that this winter to be easier on the car.

They do need to give you guys a bigger break. Don't know if you can get a car light enough for the nitrous guys to really be up there. The others i feel can, just finding spots to get weight out and still keep the car looking right and safe.

comparing when you guys get your power in to where we get our power in is also very track dependant.... there is atleast a 1/2" drop from our 60' pad to the asphalt and its rough like a chip and seal road from the starting line to the 660' with some speed bumps and whoopty doos along the way.... lol

Nope. To much to do around here. They should be there sometime very soon, if they aren't already there.

We are starting to see feedback in the YB thread if your interested.
The Atomizers are available in both 160 and 225.

The Atomizer technology is also available in the Moran injectors if your application needs a bigger injector.

Still waiting on a crank from Sonny Bryant, I ordered a few things for the body to allow us to place the weight in more stragetic places.

As far as next year tenative goals are 1.12 to 1.15 to the 60' and 176-178mph and 181-183 could be possible under the right conditions. Whatever ET that comes with those numbers would be fine with me..... We're going to try and bring thunder next year. Maybe shawn can post some pics.

We've had to make a few compromises on the build but slowly but surely we're getting the finals specs nailed down. Maybe if shawn gets a few minutes free in the shop, which is nearly impossible, he can post some pics.

Jesel sent down a set of their key-way lifters and a belt drive for the RHS block. We didn't want to use the key-way style lifters but its the only thing that we can get to work with the Mozez heads.

What other compromises are we talking here? Or are they keyway lifters to only one?

Phil, I have seen a good advantage to having key'd lifters. My friend Sam broke a rocker at the Orlando Street Nationals and had to remove the lifter and was able to do so without having to remove the intake or cylinder head and all of the plumbing associated.

there's other reasons why shawn wants to use tiebars...specifically due to the design of the RHS..

Really no progress, Shawn got a few small things done on the motor, we're still waiting on heads and a crank. Brian(madman) had the shocks upgraded to a new valving that he has been working with Eric over @ AFCO. They recently made some changes to the valving program so they shocks work better with the super stuff sidewall radials we run. The chassis is done, ready for next year, I might make a few small changes on the exhaust but other than that we're ready to go.

there actually has been alot of progress-not all of it you can see. There are alot of custom parts being made for this project-so design and manf of these parts can take some time.Here is a couple pics of the Jesel components we have.



Jesel belt drive for the RHS raised cam block





Jesel .937 keyway lifters
