We tested a new bullet. Only one hit. Think it will be fine when it’s sorted out.

I put these in.

Also changed out all the fluorescent trailer bulbs to LED.

Nice Curtis. What fixtures and lamps did u use inside ? I also need outside lights to replace 750w flood...

These use existing ballast fixtures so you don't have to do anything but put them in place of the old bulbs.

It was a very hard decision, but I feel good about it...

Thanks guys.

You prob heard me say it before.. I don’t know how I got things done when I was working full time. Now I’m even busier than I was when working. Retired? No! I just started a new job with less money!!! but I am having a blast!

He is 135lbs...I am 215 lbs...80 lbs. We are typically 6 hundreds apart in the same car.

Feed him! LOL. I don't know of any way to take 80 lbs off a car faster than putting that driver in the car. For the record, that would take a little more weight off my car.

Bucky, He is the go to guy when we want to see how fast it will go!

I gotta lose 30 lbs!!!

I like what some of you say about retiring. 1 April I will have been retired 19 years and have done 40 years worth of work since. Sold my 354 acre farm 5 years in for less work, really! It just moved to a different location....but at least I don't have set hours and as much money to worry about.....you all just keep the dream alive and hope the sport out lives us all.

About the only thing needed to do on the Skyhawk is to remove 40 pounds. Should be good for about .06.

New for 2020? EVERYTHING. We sold it all last year with the exception of one good motor and trans. Now awaiting delivery of a new 245 4 link dragster and ordering a new 30 foot trailer. And I just about thought I was done...

Took out the 730hp 548 and replacing it with a Oval BB3 headed 582. Should make north of 1000hp. So it looks like we will go from the 5.20's to some 4.90's in the vette roadster.

For the first time ever, I am going into a new season with almost everything exactly the same! The super comp car got nothing over the winter. And the super gas car just got a new wheel and tire combo. Went from a 15" to 16" wheel. With only 6 test runs, I can tell it made a huge improvement on the driveshaft graph.
