Dolph - I hope you get your car back in time and if so good luck buddy


If my car gets back from GT Guys in time, going to be close, I'll be there in my blue w/white.

Keep the black side up. Are you going to break the 267 from March?

I was talking about you and your car with Ed Raether this past weekend at Mojave among other things.

I wish you guys all the best and can't wait to hear about your results. I hope you have a great weekend!!

Well, lets just says it wishful thinking.... We are trying to run a number but the track out there is so limiting it can be difficult. The car makes the power, it just depends if we can put it all down and be safe about doing it. Here is a short little video of the car at start up... Sounds pretty good I think. Sorry I don't know how to embed a video.

Thanks Don. I appreciate everything you and your staff have done to get us to this point. I enjoy racing and with a guy like Kevin Kesterson turning the wrenches allows me to sleep at night. A lot of weight is on his shoulders getting the car ready once John Mihovitz did his deal with the motor. Now it's up to Shane T on the tuning and Patrick O'Gorman driving to get the car down the track safely.

What a great group of folks coming together to make all this happen.

Is this one of John's big stroke motors? Can't wait to see this thing run this weekend....
