Im with ya both on that one...

I expect to see more shrapnel in feb now that the shadows layin down .950 short times. Are you running a similar engine combo to Mills? Just curious if you get a weight break for the stock wheelbase vs his front end bein so stretched out

At Duck races there is a 50 lb weight break for stock wheelbase as well as a 50 lb penalty for a full blown Promod chassis. That Camaro could legally run a bit lighter (depending on turbo size) at Duck races but it's real Camaro roof & qtrs. and a few other parts ...... pretty hard to get light. They run a 520"BAE Hemi (not a PLR team car) and make all their own tuning calls, Tim, Tydo and the guys doing a great job this year.

Mills is a PLR team player, runs the Outlaw PLR AJ style Hemi 548" with the big turbos most of the time. If you look at his car carefully the front end is modified in front of the wheel opening, it retains stock wheelbase but extends the front so as not to need a "****** extender".

Stevie found a nice place in the rules where he can run a killer Roots blower and be at 2600 lbs.

I'm looking forward to attending Duck's Sweet 16 race in March with a customer's car built here in shop, also OEM roof & qtrs. stock wheelbase. The Sweet 16 pays $101,000 to winner only with NO SPLITTING Smile !!! I'm predicting rising temps during the day, and falling connecting rods at night.


Gotta get Bender some Radials on that thing.
