Everybody likes the nitro cars,  but my little small block does sound pretty good too.

This year was 352, 385, 403 hopefully next pass will be even faster.

When you keep improving at that rate it's gonna be scary...  :roll:

It would be nice to think that will continue,  but its probably safe to say it will taper off.  I will run this till it max's out then I'll go bigger,  A or AA   With the four wheel drive this platform is really capable of using a lot more power.  A B engine is right borderline on hp to weight disadvantage of the four wheel drive.  On a smaller engine the car could be faster without the extra weight.  But my plan was always to sort the car on the little engine and then go bigger.

I give up.  Ed, what'll it take to get you to get some pics of your push truck to show off to other folks?  Post some if you want - or send any you want shown to me and I'll get 'em up there. 

For that matter, if you've got pics of your car -- I'd sure like to see the, too.

You just hit reply, then click the + in the lower left corner  of the reply space (--> Additional Options)
where you will find Attach. Simple as that.
 
Sorry don't want to come across as a smart a.s.s. Just glad to help.  :cheers:

Edit: The forum software doesn't let me type A.s.s but always makes Acura out of it...
so am I a smart Acura??  :-D

Stick, you've noticed the Landracing.com Forum curse word filter.  For the early days of the filter - ask Dr. Goggles. :roll:

Well now I am remembering,  I have to make the file smaller to attach and I can't do that from my phone.  Which means too much work!

I'm thinkin' we are going to hear this car some more. If you went that fast on the third full run there's more left in it. Congrats, and thanks for the ride.
