Thanks Pat. Yes we are all very excited about finally getting the chance to let this thing go.

You just HAD to do the John Force half-track burnout, didn't you?

It looks and sounds really good. Great job!

hahahaha There is a little story that goes along with that burnout. I had cataracts in both of my eyes and couldn't see any of the gauges. The engine came up a little faster than I had expected. The shift light was set at 6800 and it came on, I backed off of the pedal a little, then a little more, and before I knew it I was further down the track than I had really wanted. If I had to take a guess I'd say the motor was close to 7500 during that. It did make for a good show though. I installed a burnout rev limiting switch the other day, so the motor will go up to about 6000 now.

We made it to the Nostalgia Drags this past weekend to try and get in the two license upgrade runs. Unfortunately on the first pass the transmission decided it couldn't handle the grunt I was giving it and first gear went bye bye. After clicking into second at the 1/8th mile mark, I was able to get into it and finished off the run with a 10.XX @ 154mph. Not too bad for a half track pass. New transmission is already on order, and shoud be ready to go in a couple of weeks. Sorry, no video on that run, you'll have to wait for the next trip.

So sorry to hear about your problems.Dont give up just yet summer just arrived.Give it hell.When is your next trip?

No problem, the transmission is in New York being repaired and should be back in time for the June 10th race.

Just might see you there.If not working,or showing the jeep Best of luck

If you do come up, make sure you visit our trailer and introduce yourself. That day they are having the Jet Wars along with us Outlaws so it should be a pretty good show.

What do run for trans in your class air shifters,2speed Im use to turning left.

The class I am in, Outlaw 10.5, requires that I shift the car myself, but I have an electric shifter if I ever want to play in Top Sportsman or ProMod. It's a 2 speed powerglide.

The last time I ran up there was with 1960 ford falcon .428 street El. was just alot of free partes from my dads friends junk yard.Never really gut the hang of it but we had lots of fun. But the trophies were to small for all the time and money.Nice talking agine.
