    Well done Brian and crew. Stellar effort to get the car back in shape after the fire.
    Thanks also to Justin for putting together the informative videos.

    Great video's and fantastic work to get the car back in action. Chasing a championship can be a tall order. It comes down to putting in the work, money, making sacrifices, and how bad you want it. Total commitment. You guy's obviously have what it takes.

  12. Who's the joker that put the 'Flame On' decal on? LOLOL...
     
  13. That's actually the way it was sold. One always goes on my Thanksgiving pie. PXL_20251127_213229328.jpg
     
  14. A guy at work gave me the flame on sticker. I put it on as a joke. He has one on my locker at work when I came back. Maybe others at the track will get a laugh to. PXL_20260508_000345765.MP.jpg

    Brian, are you planning to race at any of these new IHRA events that have a AA/FA cl***? They're coming to Georgia in October...

    Nice!! Looks like a real 50s/60s A/ Fuel car now. Them cars weren't all pretty, but they meant business. Great video content on the rebuild, Brian. It's been fun watching you get serious with the car and start kicking ***/ taking names. I been here since the 1st post. Hell of a ride.

  18. I did not go out last weekend. We are going to try this weekend. Much better weather.
    I won't be doing any ihra racing. My car would not be compe***ive. Those cars are big show race cars with a altered body on them.

  23. It was set up super soft. We just wanted to see if we got it back together correctly. Only 35 in the mag we usually run 45. Only 81 percent nitro. We set it soft to qualify. You have get it down the track to get into the show. Once qualified we crank it up. You get more points the better placement.
