WENT TO ATCO RACEWAY IN NJ. (THE PIC ON THE HOME PAGE). THE CAR HOOKED BETTER THAN IT EVER DID RESULTING IN PULLING
THE FRONT TIRES OFF THE GROUND. THE PICTURES WAS TAKEN 20' INTO THE RUN. MANY OF THE SPECTATERS TOLD ME THE CAR WAS 2'
IN THE AIR AT THE LAUNCH. WISH I HAD THAT PICTURE. ANYWAY THE HEADERS SEEMED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WINTER 2002-SPRING 2003

3lbs OF FUEL PRESSURE......WAITING FOR NEW PUMP. EVERYONE SAID THEY WERE OFF 2-3 TENTHS...HMMMMM THERE IS MY 11.80'S BUT HAD
