Thanks Todd! The car is really comming around. Harlan fabbed up a killer new sway bar that has the Red Rocket leaving hard now. We cut a 1.26 60ft if I remember right. I cannot even explain how much fun I am having with this car. We will probably try and get 2 more races in this year then we can do a tear down and clean up for a FULL SEASON of racing next year.

And to think about 4 weeks ago the magic number was 8.99 then 2 days later 8.50 and now 7.99!!!

Not too shaby for a stock block torque arm car on drag radials!
