Don't listen to Mike Rietow - Ripper. Screwed up my racing program
No one is impressed with a few blacked out time slips and I've seen this car launch/run several times, it needs a lot of work! Maybe one day dumb and his protégé dumber can find their way to the winner's circle of a big $ bracket race.
In the meantime, my Best Engineered car set up by ME that is "stupid deadly" with Afco 11 y/o front shocks and 17 y/o rear shocks that ain't ever been rebuilt will continue to be the benchmark for back halved cars on this forum and wherever it competes.
The word impressed doesn't apply to unparalleled performance.
Unparalleled performance is unparalleled.

The blacked out spots are from where the timing system failed from the cones being crushed by the cone killer .

I do, it is also amusing watching democrats squirm though.
I think Ski Down may have accomplished unparalleled in a handful of changes on a car he really couldn't count on previously.
It wasn't the shocks, they were junk when he bolted them on, I know he was regretting the purchase first handful of runs. I finally suggested he set the clickers, how I'd have run em out of the box.
I look forward to seeing how he does with it. I doubt he'll be sharing the details of what we did.
Tune by text message, works alright from the looks of it.

Why a would Azato buy your dragster?
When your dragster can't produce the unparalleled performance of what he already has, with his doorslammer.

More clueless nonsense from a retard. Further, he’s already tried to buy it and my Firebird 3 years ago.

Why?
Your dragster can't produce this.

At one time or another we had Miller, Mullis, Worthy, Phantom within 50 mile radius of Sunshine.
Then there was the guy in North Florida who built the first one piece body, can't remember his name or brand. I think Undercover.
The authorities on dragsters around here, everyone knows who they are, all said a Ray Miller is the Cadillac. Best handling, best working.
I'd suggest Azato buy one of those, if he's gonna buy one. Cantilever - two shocks.

This is a 2013 Miller I did the engine and transmission. According to the authorities on Dragsters around here, this is as good as it gets. Cantilever Ray Miller
This guy has two identical for his daughters.

Says the retard that has never made a pass in any dragster no mind owned a dragster. Miller builds nice cars but they are not the “Cadillac. Best handling, best working” suspended dragsters.
That said..
this speaks to the consistency of my Undercover dragster, doesn't get better than this, back to back passes in 3500+DA with a track temp of 120-130. We also ain’t embarrassed to hide our reaction times and incrementals!

The retard of the two of us, see's the need for the biggest hammer in the tool drawer to over compensate for a lack of individual ability, I don't see that need. Never did.
But, Azato has sent links of dragsters for me to look at for suggestions. When he sends a link to a Miller, I'll click the link, and take a look.
Oh, and BTW, I went 4.71 probably 20 years ago now in GW's dragster, guess what brand?

Jeash... Didn't know this would cause such a stir.
And the best part is I've built this car myself, no cookie cutter build out of a catalog, or pipe rack internet order store. Pick it up when done and act like you accomplished something. Trust me I could buy 3 pipe racks like being touted here for 2/3 cost of the garage I'm having built at my house. So if I wanted one, I'd have one. But I'm building that instead because I like the hands on building, testing, perfecting.. To me that is as good if not better than stringing a few runs together to get to the finals. Not to mention teaching your kids the passion. For me, going and buying a finished car has zero appeal. No offense to those that do exactly that.
Mike was spot on with the change to carb he suggested to me 1.5 years ago which immediately cured the prob after putting it on new bigger motor. And he was spot on with these suggested changes up tighten up the package. Literally took about 4-5 runs to get it printing. I give props to a guy over the internet or anywhere that can do that to help a fellow racer.

It's ok buddy. I wouldn't expect a man of your inadequate makeup in-between your front pockets; that needs to make up for that area with what you view as elite equipment unobtainable by others to appreciate what I have.

We ain’t ever been nor will be buddies. What you’ve got is junk and it’s the reason you wanted to buy both my cars! You also can’t buy a round at Numidia, that’s why you haven’t been back and are a no show at every big $ race Again… 11 and 17 y/o shocks and my car not only works but is amongst the best of the best back halved cars in the country! Don’t need no Internet forum retard to sell me shocks and tell me how to set them.

Fact check. Never inquired about the rail. No different than others of similar make.. Like I says if I wanted one I'd have it.
Last fact, the last time I was at Numidia for big money race I made it to the finals, this was with my junk when it has sbc, fuel injected, doing huge wheelies, and me leaving off, and getting back into it. Best part was I was accused of running throttle stop in footbrake class -tech checked it out and told me to keep kicking ass the car is awesome. And the guys *****ing are fuming. Took it to the finals

Well, it sure seems like it was written to create drama. If that's what you are into, good job.
