Larry,a 5 or 6 pt bolt in is good to 10.00 i know,BUT!!! where the hoop mounts to back bars this needs to be welded and not bolted together like they come from Wolf, to be NHRA legal,already been told this at RT66.Now maybe they are a little more forgiving at GLD is that what you were told? If 41 is not open maybe ill come up there,or maybe we will just bring up chris car on my trailer.

going 10.3 @ 152 made them a bit unhappy since Jim had nothing but a stock seat belt and helmet on. They no longer want his car there

This is our half-assed last pass of the night and what they wrote on our slip.

They let us have a bunch of 100+mph 1/8mi. passes but only one full pass.
We got issues as you can hear the car shift 4 at about 1000ft. and when we can use our last 1000rpm and keep it in D this car's gonna move out ok. (It truly IS a street car (with zero safety equip.) though as you can see from the weight transfer (none) lol.

i just got home. Sorry i ran off with out saying bye guys. I did good my first pass left at only 4200 to see how the track was and took it easy cuz 2nd was allover the place and ran a 11.70 at 120 with a 1.70 60. But the 2ND time NO GOOD. left the tree at 5500 and right after it hooked bang smack smack then i pushed in the clutch and costed down the track drove it back to the pit's then called a good friend with a flatbed how is only 20mins from GLD payed for his fuel and got us some beers and took some pics at home of what broke.
The drive shaft is okay but its going to get new u joints and dyno balanced and the rear is fine to Just need a new UMI T/Q arm.
i hope that larry is going to come home with a new p/b but his first two pass he made he had a hard time making it down the track on just motor. But as i was leaving they were laying down some more vht so maybe he will.
