We should have the oiling system and the cooling system plumbed tonight! I will post updates as we make further progress.

North vs. South is just around the corner!

No different than what happens on Millens, Blevins, Monson's or anyone else that has a opening in their front bumper. It gets sucked up, which is generally rare. I'd be more afraid of injesting some small wildlife creatures.

Shouldn't the B.O.V. take care of those!?!

That's badass looking for sure. Love how that engine bay looks so huge in the pic's... amazing when all the BS is removed and the center's stretched out some, there's actually alot of room in there to do stuff!

What size tire you running? How long you think until you hit a track? Shooting for 7.5 range?? Your setup just looks plain sick!

Also, is your core support allowed to be removed in the class you run in?

We have packaged a 29.5x10.5W and the 29MT Radial. As far as 7.5's go, I am just running the 88/98 turbo and will be happy with mid to bottom 8's. I doubt I will be in your league. My real goal is to make 1000rwhp on pump gas and be able to drive to work once or twice a week while getting 15mpg. No rules about the core support locally.

You going to enter the Pump Gas Drags with the "Red Rocket"? Would be cool to see it go. Car looks great.
