Default Re: The newest drag racer gears up!

We're getting closer! The 12.90 engine is on, and the punch list is much shorter. The NHRA license is here, and the big shed for the back yard came at 6am this morning (need to stash Danny's '67 Camaro, and get it out of the box trailer!). Looks like we just might make it to the track this weekend for the inaugural - most likely will be Maple Grove, should get 3 runs in.

Got a logo designed and installed - old school, hand cut, layered vinyl done by a local guru:



The 'little' 12.90 Raptor engine, I hope it runs somewhere close to 12.90 - these things are hard to slow down!



Got the 28mm carb fully attached, slick billet parts galore on these Jr's



I won't be able to keep little Danny out of his car now that it will be stashed in the new shed, we frequently find him climbing around in the car if/when I leave the trailer door open [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



Can't wait to see Benjamin go down the track for the first time. Will post more pics when I can. It's been an extremely busy 3 months as we thrash our way to the starting line, I need a break - Benjamin wants to go the ECF's already!!
