To sum up the year it ended up pretty good. I ended with a pretty good profit. (if nothing happens at the next two races.) At the last race of the year I hold a track record that pays $1,000 to the fastest of the year so I gotta go to that one! Sure hope nobody shows up for that race!!

This is probably going to jinx me for posting this, but I'm kinda excited about it so far.


Finally getting the truck working better and the last few races have been pretty fun tunning the truck and nos. Here is a short vid from a few weeks ago. Not this pass but one of my other passes was within .50 off a national record time. This race was just a local weekend race, but it is one of the tracks that we have national races so it is comparative(somewhat anyway). Just as soon as the last race I'm pulling the motor out for a rebuild. Going to make some changes to make it a more of a nitrous motor. Just like everybody told me. Nitrous is like crack once you hit it you want more. They weren't kidding either!
Once I take everything apart I'll be selling the entire rotating assembly + cam, lifters and springs if anybody is interested. After I take it all apart and inspect it I'll post it on RJ.

I changed the rear gear last night and still do have a few other changes to make over the winter time, but nothing major for next year.

Click on the pic. It's actually a video.

Default HURT MOST OF THE YEAR but fun been working

Hurt most of the year and was busy working and helping out my buddies stuff a bit
Ran once at the end with a new combo went the fastest the chevelle ever went, and its not even close to being dialed in, and the driver (me ) needs more seat time my 60's were shi... and I did not even trans brake the car, only foot brake. I do have high exceptations for 2012. should be a legit mid/high 9 sec street car on nut and gods know how fast with a small kit ????

Stay safe everyone from

My season finally ended Saturday night. (I love living in the south :wink: )
2011 was a year of racing that I'll never forget. And mostly for all the good luck that went my way!!

200' I'm between 75 to 80mph. Most tracks don't have mph, but we do race at a few that have it.

Wabb: for all of the hard work you have done, it could not happen to a better guy... you earned it man. You seemed like you needed to have a good season, or you were getting bored.
