Thats awesome Chris! I actually spoke with Rick Intrau the other day about your car, he's waiting to see you get his old record.

I think Rick needs to put his car back together and duke it out with Chris. Throw Stefan D in on this too!

I'm just happy Chris is still in the game for Rick how ever, his LT1 days are over and he's also expecting his first kid soon. He still has the car though.

Larry (LS1 speed) was going to come by and take some video but he showed up with a dead battery Now there is no way to get much done up here in our winter HELL!!!!!! Doing a couple more updates on the car but it will be ready for testing asap. Adding a MSD 7531 and 16 volt system. But everything is good to go.
