    It ran 8.2 at 88 in the 1/8 we made a huge error in the converter and a new one is on the way plus we haven't had much time to tune yet just playing until my buddy gets his new dyno up and running. we just cannot get it off the line do to MY dumb mistakes. The car should run high tens when we get it sorted out!! Thanks!

    Saw it run at Grove Creek.It was one of the few cars people actually lined up to watch make a pass.Hope to see it with the new converter.

    I saw the car at back to the 50's and took pictures. It was one of my favorites.
