Thanks guys!!! The car was painted by a shop called 'Illusions'. They have to be good, they painted John Force's Mustang. Haha.

Anyways, I expect to see everybody in San Antonio March 23-24th for the IHRA Opener.

Racing with a professional team has been a goal of mine for a very long time. This really is a dream come true. Only a few years ago did I get into racing and now I have the opportunity to do it on a professional level. And to think that in less than a week it will become a reality. My ultimate goal is to crew cheif an NHRA Pro-Stock car. For me that represents the pinnacle of racing. Anyways. Thanks for the support! Maybe I can get an LS1Tech.com sticker on the cars. Hahaha.
