Did someone say Texas Mile? I might be interested in this event but not for sure if this cage will pass tech. Thoughts? :biggrin

That's it. No doubts. MarkH is the sharpest tool in the shed!!! Great job, Mark! Could be a lifesaver and hopefully you will NEVER find out!

I was wondering where you were going to mount those JATO rockets.
Looks incredible. Will it be all set for the next Texas Mile? What little things have gone on in that engine compartment?

Mark is too modest so I'll respond.......

Think of a certain fast yellow GT. In that ballpark.

WOW, As my wife says " The Testosterone Level Is Getting Very High In Houston, You Don't Need To Run With Those Wild Ones". Should be very interesting in Beeville in May.

Wow!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

And that picture is why I just printed out the Forum top speed runs list. That way I can always show there was a time that I was in the top five on the list before I got knocked down.

Can't wait to see how the car performs. Best of luck with everything. You are going to have a blast in that thing!! :cheers

I better do the same.

I think I own the fastest Whipple car without nitrous by very small margin. :cheers

Kendal if you are half as good with a wrench as you are with Photoshop, Chip's car is in fine hands. :cheers

No! I think Chip would be in REAL TROUBLE. I'm an idiot when it comes to photoshop - always one of life's regrets for me as it is likely a fantastic tool. In contrast, I can do a thing or two with Powerpoint including the half-ass job above - LOL

The fab work is all done.... another week or so before we get to hear #34 breath again!!
