    Had a blast at NEVD!! Went many rounds including into the finals of "street flathead" class. Went down swinging with a 11.2 @59mph and I couldn't be happier.
    Winner Mike in the 87 went 9.9 for the win 20250525_124850.jpg 20250524_123104.jpg

    59 mph in 11.2 are odd numbers. Assume u lifted & got on brakes when saw you had lost resulted in 59 mph

    @AmishMike my car and my techniques are not dialed in I guess. I learned that this motor needs to be fully warmed up in order to be happy. Track was quite slick and traction was not easily attained in most of 1st gear, graaaaaannnnnnnnyyyy- shhhhhhiiiiiffffftttt into second I've lost alot of MPH. It does hop out of the hole which feels awesome, it pulls hard, and is a shit- ton of fun- I highly recommend it

    Man those caps look fantastic! Definitely gives a glimpse of how different the street and strip guise could be!

    cruise into town looking dapper, strip it down and lay down a few passes!

    Awhile back I got 2 really nice chrome hub caps and I've been looking for more.
    Today I came home from my niece's graduation party to these in front of my garage! Hello! Thank you Frank 2de98dd6-0ba3-472d-aba6-7f89ec34a24d.jpg
