Do you mean 12.00 or just somewhere in the 12's?

I have to assume it fell out of a hybrid, and the car is still running on the battery part

I have no idea what it came from.

Definitely an odd thing - and a little too big for the street sweepers to pick up.

Now that is a project!

I am not a big Ford fan, but you will have to try a little harder to make a 460 in that truck not cool.

OK - just got the green light for this event. I'll make some calls to figure out who is going when.

The first thing I think is - that we can't wait to see it running so the only thing I care about valve covers is that they are on the engine! Cosmetically, the valve covers look good, but in my opinion the blue engine and black valve covers don't match up well. If the engine was black I would say pe...

So the gauntlet is laid down. Somebody had to take it to the next level. Pretty sure I won't be competing with that anytime soon - especially with my bottom end and on 87 octane. You will be off the Chupposity meter once you get that completed and running right! The compression is a big part of the ...

Has this project moved at all since the last post? Inquiring minds want to know...

If they race each other at least they know one of the stick shift cars will win. I am not saying you can't win with a stick - it is just harder.

Maybe we should talk to one of those spray on bedliner companies and have them sponsor us! Looks really good. Any ideas on how to keep the bungee cords from scratching up the paint when tying items down to it? Seems to me you need a car to tinker around with in the garage for your next project. I ha...

I would think AAA would be your insurance for flat tires, alternator malfunction etc. Still not a significant reduction in expense. You should "assume" that the event would be over if there is a major breakage, rather than carry all the spare parts. Oh yeah honey I am going racing for 9 da...

Interesting but not too likely I would have that much free time. Once the son is old enough to be into that could change - but that is probably at least 5 years off.
