Had to share the newest addition to the "Breaking Wind Streamliner" group of AWESOME sponsors! If you're not familiar with them it's because you're NOT online (and obviously not reading this) and don't follow much racing BESIDES NASCAR! If you read Hot Rod Magazine you'll know who I'm talking about... BangShift.com ! Hanging out with Chad the other day and he was stoked to hang with us crazies and be part of our plans! Stay tuned!!

Finding backing for racing is tough but for LSR nigh impossible, well almost. :wink:

Nicely done Brad, I wish you and the sponsor all you deserve. :cheers:

Congrats Brad!  :cheers:

I'm still alive! Still working on racecar stuff, building a cool tow/push vehicle and starting on both dolly and tow trailers! LOTS to do! I printed up our first round of shirts dedicated to all the brains involved in this thing. They're Gildan 6.1 oz. 100% cotton, heavyweight shirts. If anyone wants one, I'm selling them for $20 +5 bucks for shipping. They're pretty cool..

Hey Dude, I'm still here! Had a few things jump in (my oldest daughter got married last week in Texas) and slow production just a bit. Changed a few things on the body design to get rid of drag in a few areas that were bugging my aero guy and myself. A little more CFD and It's body time. Picked up a Chevy dually and did a bunch of serious chassis work to put it on the ground for a push/tow vehicle. BESIDES being fast, we have to look good too! Lol... Working on a little bit of everything, checking things off the list! How goes it on your side of the planet? Anything new?

I'm back! I took a little break to work on a potential TV project but hated the fact I never finished this goal! It's taking me a little while to figure out where I want to dive back in, but it'll be cool! Here we go...
