Hey guys, I just got a hold of this one, and thought it was worth sharing. This is from our last race down in Perris, Calif. It shows my boss keeping a firm lead on R. Dale Henry. We went on to finish second that night.

Ours:
1999 Stinger Wingless Sprint Car
360ci 700hp N/A
It's got a 360 with an 8 butterfly Hillborn mechanical fuel injection system, 14:1 pistons, a .670" (wink, wink) lift cam, magneto ignition system, no transmission, and a Winters quick change solid axle rear end with a final ratio of 6.86:1 (usually). It uses pure Methanol, and does a 1/4 oval in 12.9 seconds, but keep in mind that a 1/4 mile oval has 4 corners that you have to slow down for.
:)
Take care,

Just 4 shocks and 4 torsion bars.
Here's a pic of the car from last year where you can see it better. Nothing fancy.

Hillborn Mech. FI?
Are they still around? The old plant used to be right down by my moms house. Now its a Yamaha dealer. Didn't realize the significance of the place till they were changing it over. Should have gotten pictures.
