:
Drag radial car finished.
Thanks for all the comments guys I have been busy with the car last night and today so Tom's been handling the PR. What's up with the pic placement Tom, LOL.
As Tom said it's been a long 3 years building this thing essentially in the garage! We are very happy with the results so far.
As for expectations...they are low. We have started with a Hyd Roller set-up with a decent turbo. This year is all about having fun! We're not chasing records or any of the guys going "super" fast. When we started the numbers were in the mid-low 8's. Now that's commonplace and deep into the 7's are expected if your planning on being competitive. Our goals are simple....no major problems. We are going to ease into this and have fun. We should be testing in a couple weeks or so...then working our way into some races locally in the Midwest.
Want to thank a few people that gave us support/guidance during the project.
First and foremost our wives to put up with our **** and spending all thier purse and shoe money, LMAO.
Kurt and Billy from Wheel to Wheel Powertrain for I'm sure an awesome Shortblock and good advice. My 3rd and Tom's 2nd motor from them, all still running strong!
Bob McMillan from Bob's Braided Lines for custom machine work and WAY too many braided hoses and fittings, lol.
Mike Brown and Steve Turley (the Ohio Boys) for the experienced guidance, support, parts, etc, .....we'll be with them alot this year. With 3 cars now we'll kinda be like John Force racing, lol.
Sean Decker for the paint job....Sherwin Williams Planet color Orange,
That's all for now. Again, thanks for the comments and hope see you at the track!

Local Drag Radial classes where we fit. We put lexan in it and nowadays that's a problem. So for now if we need to run in some Limited Street classes as underdog's we will. We may change it to glass if things go well and they do not loosen up on the requirements.
Silver paint on the cage, the body is secret orange developed by a local Sherwin dealer and Tom and I. But it's basically a candied orange.
