Thanks for the prayers....I feel very blessed to have caught it in the early stages.

jleews6....I'm glad to hear that your son is doing better. I hope he has a full recovery and that you are able to get things sorted out so you can get you a new ride!!!!!

My son went thru a really long and tuff battle with drugs. I found him unconscious on two different ocasions....went to ICU and he came through both times. He's on the right track now.....you know what it feels like when your son is hurting. My cancer was a piece of cake compared to seeing your kid suffer.

A friend let me use his Race Stars to make a few passes at the track. I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Even got the wife to get in the picture.

Looks awesome wearing the drag wheels/tires. Let us know how it ran.
When I posted the above I hadn't read the whole thread and had missed that you had cancer as well OP. I'm glad to hear you and your son are doing better. We'll keep praying for ya'll.

Thanks. If the weather holds up I hope to get a few passes in this week.

Ain't that the truth!!

Here are a couple pics of my SOM SS I just picked up last weekend. It's just a roller...and a clone. It's really a 94 LT1 T56 car. I hope one day it will look as nice as yours.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been going to the track the last few weeks and I'm finally seeing some good results. I bought a new set of 18" MT's and an adjustable torque arm.

Only made two passes........7.40 and 7.51

1/8 mile track ...lol

I'm have a wiring issue and the battery was dead so I had to jump it off just to make a pass....but it was worth it.

That's pretty good. I believe you will drop that down some more with the charging system working, or at least a fully charged battery.

Please throw a pic of your 88 Formula 350 in here too. I loved my 89 Formula 350. It had to be parked after being hit 2x and then an oak limb threw the roof. I have been saving it in hopes of using the drivetrain in an older car one day. Lots of people hate on the TPI, but mine was very strong.

Nice. If mine had been a hardtop it would probably still be on the road. I actually bought an 87 hardtop V6-T5 body to swap everything into, but started messing with 4th gens so I just sold the 87 instead.

I really can't tell much difference. The adjustable torque arm and the spool probably hurt the driveability more than anything else.

Finally got a video at the track. I had two runs at 11.13
Not bad for the first pass ever at 1/4 mile.
Mine is the SOM Camaro.
