Default Thank You Gforce

Thank you guys for all the nice comments!

This car has come a long way since a stock block 351 windsor. After 3 years of trying this and trying that we have finally figured out what works best for this class with a small block. We are still not the fastest car out there but we are competitive to say the least finally. This car would not be where it is today with out my good buddies over at Gforce Motorsports. Any of you that know Mike, Jay, Johnny, Grego and Robert know that these guys are the best at what they do! I didn't know **** about cars or racing when I got into this 5 years ago and thanks to these guys I have learned alot. They took there high horsepower late model knowledge and applied it to my car and here we are today. These guys are track side with me at EVERY race and Test Session. I don't pay them to help me race they do this on there own cause they have the love for fast cars and winning races. I am privileged to have such a great group of guys in my corner! Thank you guys!

And the Kuntz and Company Small Block Ford, Rick Stevens Chassis, and Induction Solutions Nitrous doesn't hurt either!

Don't ignore me on FB. I'm trying to talk ****.

I remember the night @ HRP we split that 351 block right down the middle about 2 seconds into the run and Chris coasted the rest of the way down the track right down the middle, leaking oil everywhere. It was like a 3 hour clean-up.

LOL, yea that was not a good night! Like I said I didn't know ****. Can't forget about the day at HMP when I had the stock 5.0 brakes and put that bitch in the wall when I pulled the chute on the big end and was on the brakes hard before the chute opened!
