The car was running. We made a total of 3 shakedown passes and 2 good passes before cracking the block. It went a 5.75 in a 150 pill in the 1/8th. At the same race we drew the number 1 qualifier first round who went 5.13. Long story short, we pilled up, set it on the bumper, killed the pan and block.

Hopefully next time we will have more time to tune the suspension before we have to go click off a 5.00 pass to get into the 2nd round! We finished the car the night before and didn't have time to make some adjustments. Between some tuning and wheelie bars, we should be good to go!

In Abilene this past weekend. Tore up the oil pan, but no other significant damage. Went 5.75 and 5.80 with traction and N20 issues. This pass sprayed and hooked...

We're temporarily down for a quick block swap to an LSX. I was going to swap to one at the end of this season, but now's a better time after what's taken place. The next Outlaw Pro Street race is July 28th, and we'll have a few shakedown passes under our belt before then. I am going to add a second stage of N2O when the engine goes back in to bring in once the car is moving. We'd like to see some solid 5.30's in the 1/8th.

We'll keep everyone posted!

Trevor

It's good to hear from you Nick! We'll be at the NMCA race with this car, along with our back-halved twin turbo '00 Corvette. Stop by the toter & trailer and say hi. You'll also be able to find us at our vendor booth.

I must have bad karma with red Camaros. We still have our '98 Z28 that I put on the bumper twice.

LOL It looks even slower. It has the rolling chassis blues right now, but we have some pretty cool stuff in the works to make it quite a bit better this go-around.
