DragRaceResultsDeuces Wild 2023 DRR Dragster Build - Sneak Peek!
Ed - 245" w/ 24" cage width just no added crap but didn't go broke with carbon body, deltas or "all" titanium bolts.
Curly correct on the mechanical shut off which uses one circuit for the battery and one circuit for the alternator.
Electric solenoid is to charge the battery cable to the starter, we then run a 8g jump wire to the solenoid back at the starter. I like the safety feature of the battery cable NOT being hot all the time.

Pretty happy with that as my goal was to be down 175-200 from our 2020 cars.
Best air we've seen has been 2800 corrected with horrible barometer. Been 4.42 157 with the little 615's
So you thinking low 30s high 20s in good air? That's carrying the groceries for sure.

S/C718Scott,
Both your new cars are super nice. I really like the paint jobs on both. I picked up my new 2023 American in December at the PRI show but I did the opposite of you and put every option. I haven't weighed it but I'm sure it's not light. It's a 250 inch all carbon car with a 622 all aluminum 14-degree dry sump motor. With my fat azz at 300lbs I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the 1950lbs range. good luck the rest of the season.

CURTIS REEDSL, I'm not typically a dragster fan but you all have done a great job with them. Very thought out packages. I hope you guys turn on lots of win lights with them.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
