The newest drag racer gears up!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

So, another year rolls around and we are neck deep in every sport and activity possible - oh, and let's stick with the racing program as well!! Benjamin at age 13 moves up to the fastest class this year, 7.90 ET @ ~83-84MPH. His new engine arrived back in January while the car was at Half Scale Dragsters chassis shop being upgraded, and the flex link being made functional. The car has a high cage and extended foot box, but Ben will out grow it this year because of the width - but, we upgraded it anyway to make the most out of this year, and his younger bro Danny wants to drive it after he outgrows his car... A few pics of winter painting tasks to get the chassis finalized, the new engine installed and the clutch reworked for 7.90 ET's.

Had a small 6" section of chassis tubing replaced to make the flex chassis functional again, broke out the PPG 'stuff' to shoot / match it right. We also had a under chassis weight tank made, so I painted that too... I like to paint!
