Me and my awesome Girlfriend enjoying a cold one after a day of super fun racing!









I am pretty happy with this for my street car that I didnt have to work on the whole weekend then took it cruising afterword:






The whole crew together for a shot after the races :






Parked out front at the four queens on freemont street, About to go let em howl off the chip lol





First round eliminations wheelie, I pedaled it so it would come down then rolled back into it and it went right back up... wheelied out past the 330' Cones:

Here is a video of that same pass from the stands:

Engine and trans freshen up / turbo inlet restrictors LITTLE tires and new wheels oh and some more cleaning up is whats in store for CD2 this winter. If I can get all that done then I might try to get some more weight out and maybe make it down towards minimum weight finally.

Ordered a new aluminum driveshaft for this car so I can take the one that was in it and put it back in my other car "cream dream 1"  Going to rebuild the trans this weekend with some upgrades as well. Waiting on some engine parts to get the mill back together, hoping to have it all together by early june for the first race.

Spent the day building a couple of poweglides. One is my Reid case full roller deal for this car and my other one is for my other car "cream dream 1" that one is a bunch of goodies in a stock case.

I also see why they say an 8 clutch drum can only take around 1500 hp lol toasted the clutches bad....still went 191 like this LOL

Upgraded to a 10 clutch drum and will likely boost line pressure a bit more to help holding as well.

Should have some more updates soon. I am going to drop off the block for a hone and wash asap and then get the new pistons coming.

not much new , got my new wheels all coated and ready to go on, engine is still apart waiting for some new goodies to show up. Not really a lot of news to report, hoping to get it back together as soon as I can. Also been working on my old car some as well trying to get it back together. That combined with taking over our business has got me pretty busy lately!!

Ok guys, just a small updates for inquiring minds. Got my new wheels and tires all mounted up:

Also have Ron Shearer and wiseco pistons helping me out on some bad ass new billet slugs I should hopefully have soon so I can get Flyin Ryan and RWR engines to set up the balance etc and mail it all back to me.

Keep posted for more pics!

6-24-2013

Flyin Ryan and RWR Engines worked thier magic on the crank/rods and got them all balanced and shipped out, Ron Shearer/Adam Silverthorn @ Wiseco pistons have my new custom billet pistons done and on the way to us. SO with any luck we can assemble this thing this week and get it back in the car for some street driving/ testing before we head out to Door Warz @ Mission Raceway july 5-8.

Pics will come once the goodies start showing up!!
