No offense to Steven or anyone at LMR but they wouldn't stand a chance at that race in outlaw trim...and even in Limited Street trim they have their work cut out for them....here's a list of LS cars
wolfe
brogdon
al sneed
dillard...
etc
http://www.texaskingofthehill.net/html/hvlimited.html

But building a car of that caliber in 1 week! ******* unbelievable...get that dialed in and you will be in the thick of things for sure in LS guys! Just don't know if you have enough time between now and 20/21st! Takes a long time to figure out everything in a car like that! Best of luck and keep it shiney side up in Memphis!

It is an MSD Belt Driven set-up. Quite a few cars in the LSX world have them. Just cuts down one more thing you have to worry about while working on the car.

Just a bit of an update for you guys. They are in San Antonio at Murillos getting ready to dyno. They had the car aligned* and getting ready to strap down on the dyno. If all is well, they should be leaving for memphis in a few hours. Worm said he might make a hit on the street just to make sure everything is together! Josh is actually clearanceing the fender wells as we speak. Go gettem boys, see you guys Saturday hopefully!~

Thanks for the update! Good luck again guys!!!

Yea, there are gonna be some bad boys out there for sure, just trying to see what class he is gonna be racing in. This car looks just sick and I wanna see it race. I personally would through some 10.5s on it get the chassis & tune correct Sat. and shoot for the $10,000 on Sunday. Less wear and tear on a new setup and a chance to work out the bugs. Thats still a nice purse for true 10.5. My buddy Wagner is in that link below with the gold Nova. We will be out there for the 10.5 and I hope to see a good turnout, and with the Outlaw guys that plan on coming I think its going to be big. Hope to see ya there Wormy!!!
