It Made It Home!!!
After 9 month's I was finally able to bring the car home to it's own garage. Had to tear it all apart, paint the chassis, and now I'm in the process of assembling everything again. Hoping for a mid to late September finishing time.
Aim it towards the trailer.
And load it up for the trip home.

Thanks everyone, it is real good to have it home where I can work on it and get-er-done.
Dave, my son is having a blast so far. He has it running 10.30's with just a bit more left in it. We have some suspension adjustments to make, and possibly give it a little spray, but that might wait till next year.
I'd mush rather be a player than a spectator, but the time is coming pretty quickly.Mike Casella

Know what you mean on the spectating, taken way too much time off myself. Might have to get back at it next year. Really get to missing it after awhile.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I have a feeling it's there, and it's in the suspension. The rear end seems to be off a little bit. When he launches, it lifts the front wheels about 4" and sets them down about 3" to the right. He has gotten used to it already, and I want it changed as soon as possible so he can experience the real potential of the car.Originally posted by Dave Severson

Does the car have a 4 link on the rear or ladder bars??? Sounds like maybe just a touch more preload on the right rear and a bit less lift he would be at least a tenth quicker??? Sure would be nice to make a 9.90 without juice......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

It's a ladder bar suspension. We just have to find the time to get to it, and now with my car being there, there's even less time.Mike Casella

hahaha Good one! The track has canceled the Outlaw class due to such a low car count. The low car count was due to low pay-out. They upped the pay-out, and now they need at least 8 cars in order to save the class. I have to get in some test and tune before that date to make sure everything is ok. No pressure, just going with the flow.Mike Casella
