    Alan - Beautiful car! Glad to see Bob got the record. Are you going to get the engine back to Keith so he can dyno it, or just keep driving? vic (the guy who built the Dorton-engined modified roadster @ Bonneville).

    Very nice. Especially impressive is the fact that it was built by it"s owner.

    Again just like everyone else I really like the car. A lot of similarities to mine.

    Looks great I love the tie rod through the wishbone. What tires are you running?

    Thanks, It was nice meeting you at Bonneville. You guys had a great week also. Plans are to go back in two weeks with a few changes and try to raise the gas record, add the NOS and try for the fuel record. I don't think we can get much further in these two classes with this engine. Keith built it to run both N/A and blown, so it is only 9.1 and has a blower cam. I think we will have another engine setup for for both classes next year. Are you guys going back out?

    Thanks, I did a lot of the work on the car, but without the guys in the shop this car would not be finished.
