Nice pipe!

That's what she said. :p

In for progress. Also, you should show a few "before pics" for those of us with short wieners... I MEANT SHORT MEMORIES, short memories. Yea, that's it.

Would you say the crank is basically in-line with the frame rails? as in, the drive shaft doesn't require a hump in the cockpit floor all the way to axle?

[Ron Golden]

Bob,

The chassis looks trick and looks like it will be very light weight. I really like the "wires".

Looking forward to seeing you at MoKan on the 22nd.

Love the wires, any details on what bits you used there, as I'm looking to loose some of my front end 'fat', hence looking at wires etc.

Cheers,

Drewfus

Pictures??

[Joe Hamby]

Elves don't have camera's, they give them to little kids

[CrkInsp]

Well the Hornet saw the Tree for the first time after it's rebirth. The best of three runs for the tnt session was an Et of 12.11 on a 109.74 pass. Still trying to get is wings stretched, a few problems, but with the help of "Ace Tuner and all a round good guy" Larry Jones and his band of merry old souls, Bob will soon be able to take flight on his own.

Pis's to follow.

[Katuna]

Too cool. Low 12's at just under 110 and room to grow. WOW!

[Hemibaker]

Great job Bob, I will need to start making winter plans for a new chassis after seeing this new car. Nice job. See you soon.

ThingyM Are you sure that thing is not just a figment of your imagination?;) Racerb said he heard it run over the phone but that could have been any thing running You know he is kind of gullible at time.:rolleyes: Hell he's puts on races can't be to smart.
We going to see it at Rocky's show in Fresno? Where are you going to stay? If you need anything give me a call.

[ThingyM]

Well if it is, It's been a pretty expensive figment...Yes it will be at Fresno..
