Well it was my first time racing, not the valiants. I went to Jefferson-Pageland Dragway near Monroe, NC. It was the first time I've ever raced on a tree, so i've got a little work to get better at it. It has a 225 with the long rod setup, with 9.3:1 compression, 2bbl supersix conversion, electronic ignition, 2 1/4 exhaust, and the 904 trans has been built really well, she'll even chirp them going into second. I had put a open 2.76 in the rear, but got tired of the noise coming from it, so i put a suregrip 3.23 back in for the racing. I just got a 833od to put in, so now i gotta start collecting the parts to do that install. I went 4 runs on the 1/8th mile at the track. My best time was 11.51 at 59.03 mph. but i had horrible reaction times, my best was .9009. The best part was that i drove 45 minutes to the track, raced 4 times, and drove home on about 6 gallons of gas. I'm gonna try and make it to farmington this year to run. So maybe I'll see you guys there. Nick

Eddie sez - "Welcome brother!" Looks like I'll have someone I can beat on the tree! Just kidding, of course. If you think the tree is tough, just try it with a clutch! Actually, it's nice to see another slanter thrown into the pile. My goal this year is to get a 10 sec run out of Ed before he gets transmogrified. |

I'm definently going to try to make farmington this year. I've just got to work on my reaction times and stuff, so i guess i'll keep heading to jefferson-pageland until then. Nick |

I REALLY like the look of that car. The aluminum slots, the paintjob, and 4 doors! Awesome! |

Thanks, I'm wanting to redo the vinyl graphics sometime, because they are mostly peeling. But getting vinyl done is expensive, so that will be something for later. I also would like to make some door panels for it, because i don't have any right now. but right now she's just my daily driver gas mileage car, and sometimes a weekend racer. I'm going again this friday night to see if i can get myself to be more consistent on the track. |

Could you please edit your picture, so it is not more the 400 pixels wide? Thanks |
