God willing, 2010 will be a big year for me. The chassis is finally done! Hopefully the motor will get built soon!

^ First understatement of the year!

I'm hoping to get my *** to the track and bust into the 10's. Car's getting a cage and shedding some lb's right now. FC, stock suspension 13BT. I just hope my motor holds up.

Motor built? I thought you already dyno'd your motor. What happened with that motor?

I had the time and money so i decided to build it right. I have one built and bagged up in the garage, one that i am going to build to put in the car, and enough stuff to build one more. Hopefully it will be one of those "if you have it you will never need it" kinda things!

who's is racing in 2010

i know i will see Ujay at the track.**** it is only the second week of 2010.i have had my hot rod out two times this year.over the long new year week end i installed my anti-roll bar and my spool!!!!the anti-roll bar helped out 100% now the car does not torque roll the body/chassis.as for the spool the car goes real straight now.at irwindale my 1/8 mile improved to a 1.26 sixty foot 6.03 @ 111.at fontana i went 1.33 sixty foot 6.11 @ 110 in the 1/8 9.700 @ 135 in the 1/4.when i went to fontana saturday for the street legals they limited me to a 10 second pass.the first pass i went a 1.300 sixty 6.05 @ 111 in the 1/8 then stood on the brakes,it went 11.00.that pass would have been a 9.60 something.i talked to the track manager after that pass and he gave me the green light to make full passes!!!it went a 9.76 9.73 9.700 playing with the tune up!!it seems that fontana is about .10th slower then irwindale!!the quickest 1/8 mile i had at fontana before saturday was a 6.12.so i think that 6.05 at fontana is going to be a 5.90 something at irwindale!!!i will be at irwindale this thursday 1/14/10 to see if i will finally get my 5.90 or better 1/8 mile time slip.maybe i will see you there Ujay?have you heard anything about the R100?

Sounds like your on top of things as usual Chris.
1.26 60ft! . Must be nice. hehe. Weather down here in OC is unreal. It was 80 degrees on Saturday and Miami was in the 30's! Great time to race, but I have my car all apart getting ready for paint. I'll try and make it out on Thurs, but I have been busy at work.

I hope that within the next few months I can finally put down some comparable numbers to everyone then hit the track for the 1st time in 5 years.

Well I guess your right.... 700+ horsepower is not enough.
Good luck, I have been anxiously waiting to see you run your 3 and I know many others are too.

It's not used as a daily driver, although it could be if the owner wanted to.
Location is New Zealand.
