Halan, stanton will have the best surface of the season the last weekend of Aug. 9.0 index class could be fun or I think they opened American super car challange up to bring in some F-bodys and stangs. You'd clean the house in ASC!

Great job man!! We would have been there fri. but we are still working out a few bugs that popped up the last few times out. We will be at Norwalk this fri. sat. and Sun. for the Pontiac Nationals, would be cool if you could make it down there for the fri. night test and tune so we can run. We are expecting to run 8.60's or better at 160mph if we dont have any problems, would be fun to race against the 2nd fastest ls1 in the country . And where the hell are your wheelie bars and parachute, if you ever want the car to 60' well you'll need them. Hope to see the car soon. Steve

If he doesn't I might know a place that is working on one. Yes, it is still being made and the prototype MIGHT be ready to test in about two weeks.

Dunno if i'll make it this weekend. I got a couple things to go over first.

Chute is at the shop, just have to put the pack mount on

Wheelie bars??

You mean like these....




Good luck on the 8's.
You may get there first but catching up will be a bitch after that

Matt,

Congrats...you have certainly come a LONG way from the Incon days. You have also been an inspiration to the FI community as well, keep up the good work and go deep into the 8's at 160+ mph!! Also, as PSJ noted earlier, what changes did you make since Thunder 2002 when you went 10.000@142+?

i think when he went 10.0000 he was still with his incons, built engine with a hydrolic cam (compard to his solid roller he has now) He was running out of air then with those pee shooters he had, but i dont think thats a problem now.
