It doesnt seem that you are putting the 7.4399 as a projected ET as you pu teh MPH lower then the 1/8th mph meaning that that is what you ran. lol confusing to me and prolly to you lol. GJ man

"Caspers" intent I was talking to Jim at Speed inc yesterday and we touched on the Casper cars exploits. After hearing his thoughts I want to clear up some things for my guys.
My friend Mike Moran loaned me the car so we could take a shot at a 6 second pass with a LS engine. Mike has been kind enough to drive for us, and his experience in the car is priceless.
This car is a mix of parts owned by W2W employee's and assembled and raced in a afterhours venue.
I started building this engine after the first year at Thunder when I was driving Ronnie Dukes car that we built. At that time we ran the only class that allowed C5R heads and block. There was only 3 cars entered in that class. The other class that I noticed that had more cars in it was the class Steven from HPE won. After we came home I started building the engine we have in Casper now to run in the other class, thats why its only 352 ci (under 360 for min weight).
All the guys work on it afterwork and on some long lunches. The day we took this car out was a track rental for some local Mustang racers. We took up a collection in the shop for the 200. dollars track rental and the gas and ice money to run the car, everybody that could go took a vacation day and we were off to the races.
We have had a great time running the car and trying to beat the aussies number.
Got to thank all the guys here at W2W for the hard work for glory only.

Thats pretty cool to name all the guys that helped out with the car Kurt plus explain the history of the car itself. One way of acheiving something is to get a lot of people with the same goal together on a project - makes things go a lot quicker and spreads the load
