Thanks and no rx2 came with coil over struts front and rear. Other than the Ford 9" rear end the car is uncut and bone stock chassis. Same bone stock non adjustable struts and bone stock uncut coil springs.

Heres' a in car vid of the first pass. Crappy burnout and I was taking it easy on the launch and shifted early and still went 6.60. Unfortunately the stupid batteries went dead in the Gopro right before the last pass so I didn't get that pass! You'd be seeing stars on that one. LOL This camera is awesome!

Nice that's cool. Can't beat 1.3 60's on legitimate stock suspension.

Thanks Ito, and you're right my Dad has been there for me through it all and has helped me pit, design and also is one of my main sponsors hehe. I wouldn't be where I am without him. I can honestly say that not only is he my Father but my best friend.

Ok, so I raced at Pomona last week and it was hot! 100 degrees and 80% humidity. My first 1/4 mile pass I ran 10.3 at 125 spinning badly off the line. After I raced they shut the track down to 1/8th mile becuase there were over 500 cars and not enough time to run all 1/4 mile with all the break downs, etc. They also made us dial in and run bracket racing. So I didn't get a chance to tune the engine for faster times because then my times would be all messed up. So I dialed in a 6.50 for the first eliminations and won by running a 6.51. Next day track temp was slightly cooler and we feared the car would run quicker but decided not to touch the dial in of 6.50. Well, I broke out and ran a 6.496. Had a good time, but it was way to hot to race! I sweated at least 5lbs a run lol. Heres a outside shot video of the 6.49 pass and inside shot of the 10.3 pass. I had to let the big piston engine next to me leave first because he was slower, lol.



With cooler weather and more tunning I'm very optimistic to make that 9 second pass.

Thanks and it was hotter in a full race suit! Not good weather to make power. I'm probably going to take the car to Bakersfield in the near future. It should be cooler and better air

Stock chassis two rotor is 9.88 by Padilla and all out fastest two rotor with no rules is la Cecil with 9.23 I believe
And I believe a Honda just ran a record of 8.99 last week.
