Looks like you are making good progress Nathan.

Looks only get you so far. That thing should be a monster. What kind of 1/4 mile times are you shooting for? Is this a race only car or a street/strip combo?
BTW, I do like the chevy orange spark plugs

Sweet. Too bad you are so far away. It would be fun to come and cheer you on. Maybe BigDaddy or Wolfy could take some video.

Hey Nathan what would you do if Spokane Raceway park is forced to shut down. i heard there was too many deaths out there. but you could race at the 1/8 mile track at silver wood. _________________

Bah, you don't want those out of aluminum. Remember what happens when dewey has aluminum bracketry WITHOUT forced drag?  |
