Well my plans are shaping up for the 2003 season. Now that the schedule has been released I can make plans and set goals. My engine is alot closer to completion than my car is, so to save time my good friend Craig has offered to loan me his car thats pictured
here to start the 2003 season off with. He built this car last year to Real Street specs, but the rules changes for next year has convinced him he would be better off converting the car he raced in 2000 Super Street Outlaw, to Real Street trim.
My engine and trans should feel right at home in his '91. I let him use my shortblock last year while his was getting finished. He was able to get about 30 passes and about 40 chassis dyno pulls on it. During that time we learned alot about the car. He also used my trans at the Bowling Green event. He broke his 3550 one week before BG. Luckily for him I had a deal worked out with Wade already to swap my TKO for his proshifted model. Just a phone call to Wade is all it took to expedite the process so we could make it to BG. Thanks again for that, Wade.
My engine should be on the dyno around the first of February. It will not leave until it is making enough power to be competitive. With the help of NHRA Stock Eliminator, and Super Stock, racer/engine builder Jeff Stealy, this shouldnt be a problem.
