Rob,

What are your plans for running the rest of the year? I don't see you listed as an entry for the shootout. Will you be making the journey out for the World Finals or maybe I should say the Second attempt at Bonneville Speed Week?

Tom G.

We plan on being at the World Finals.
We would be at the WOS event and the Shootout but we must go to the IMTS show. Couldn't be any worse timing. What I see happening is that the WF gets rained out and we don't run for the record at all this year. I will be physically ill if WF rains out.
Nothing we can do. Had to commit to IMTS long before schedules were released. We are getting. $15000 spot at the IMTS show for nothing so we could not pass up the marketing opportunity to our sponsor even though I'm the president.

That's not appearance money. Just a free spot at the show instead of it costing us 15k.

Rob,

That is great, I will see you there.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Hi All,
Here is a interview done on us for our local cable network.
It occurred to me that many of you do not have facebook accounts and may not have seen this yet. If not, here it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0xSQEX0DIE

Winter / spring plans include:
1) Stripping car down to bare frame and having the frame sand blasted, epoxy prime and paint with a copper colored paint. Good-by POR15 and good riddance!
2) Installing the 540 and new Pro-Torque torque converter and tuning it on a chassis dyno.
3) Build and install slightly bigger wheel pants to allow for more tire expansion at speed. They will also be stiffer and lighter.
4) Rebuild parachute box and rear stinger out of aluminum to save weight shifting center of gravity forward even more.
5 General cleanup, inspection and fastener check

Looking forward to July USFRA Test and Tune!

Terrific interviews -- all three of you!

And that Larry Berg -- he's one terrific interviewer, too.
(We're all so used to the 'drama' loaded up.  This guy, who probably can do the same thing interviewing a cupcake baker, sounds like a real, interested and interesting person.)
