    Thumbs up First race - 8 months old

     



    I'm a proud dad.
    "my son come in second in his first race "

    If I wasn't for a left hand pull ,a lil'rain and 2 false starts (we WILL have a new crew chief next year! ) we would of had first .

    the build: Shoehorned a 427BB w/6-71 Supercharger w/twin four barrels out of a 1968 L-88 corvette where it shouldn't go ( that's 435 tp ! ). Then hand built a custom one-off aluminum side opening hood out of some stock we had laying around, customized a set of big block headers to fit and then made a set of polished brass zoomy type headers for the whole set up.

    Paint : crunch time the night before trying to get the presentation just right and make sure we didn't leave any sponsors off . ---- " hope Brent likes it "

    "please send cash w/autograph requests
    he should be able to write his name in a few years so be patient please."

    The problem is obvious, not enough traction at high speed. Needs a wing!
