Hello Everyone!

I've received a lot of emails and calls asking where the Flatcad team disappeared too- well, we're still here!

After 2 rain outs, we took a little time off, and are now ready to begin the winter thrash, so we can attemt 200 MPH next year!

Updates will start soon!

You forgot the 'Wind Out' as well!   Yes - we're back and getting tooled up to get some more stuff done.  The good news about NOT running last year . . .  we didn't break anything and the car has been ready for a year.  Now we have some time to screw with it a bit and see if we can resolve some issues that we've seen . . .

Don, that's heartbreaking news! My deepest condolances!

I have sent you an email and phone message in regards to the car and operas.

Hi All  

  We are all still alive and well,, Dale has Retired from his job and now is enjoying the life of old guys but is still stuck with the team.    Buddy has been working his Acura off after the oil price dump to stay employed, So far he is working but now overseeing multiple drilling rigs not just one, so his time is limited. As for me I am waiting for Buddy to find time to bring the car to California to my shop so we can get a few going before BV.

Thanks for the news Don. Hope everything shakes out with you guys. Here's to hoping this year is the one for the elusive 200mph run!

Thanks for the update Pops! I have been talking/typing with Dale. Sounds like he may become a neighbor in the next year or two!

He's still alive and well--My question to him--How's Texas?---"Hot and miserable in long sleeves---but it is a JOB!!"  After this 2 week shift--he is heading to CA to get the car ready for WOS if there is any such animal  Looking forward to seeing Ms Flattie run again!!  Just because we call her Ms Flattie doesn't mean she is flat chested.
