Tony,

You know I had to congratulate you. You beat me to it. I've had a hell of a last ten months after my car lifted a ring land... I bout went to jail for some stupid **** to start with, got in trouble at my job right after that, started on the road towards near divorce, and then to top it off found out my dad who's 58 yrs old has pretty much inoperable cancer.... HENCE, not being on the board at all and not touching the car while I take care of more important ****.....

But I wouldn't miss congratulating you on your accomplishment. I'll be sending you a PM with my new cell phone #. The car is engineless right now but it's down at the shop and is nearing completion. I've already taken 200 more lbs out of it and right now it's looking to sit at 3200 lbs with me in it....

What's even sadder than that is this aborted pass.... Look at the 1/8th mile time and mph. Look familiar???? I had to lift unfortunately when the engine backfired when the FAST leaned the motor out...

Again you got there first like you said you would Congrats bro!!!!!... but don't worry the competition is still on. My monster will be back on the prowl soon....

Thanks Jason

Like I said in the PM, sorry to hear about your Dad and your bad luck. I hope things turn around for you.

and yes our 1/8th mile times are dead on. I can't wait to get more seat time and see what this car will do. I need to take more weight out to meet your raceweight.

Thanks dude!

Tony

Tony lifted when he felt the car move a little left....no need to risk anything during a test session. IIRC this was a 1.33 60' with the back tires
