No AC means it's a race car not a street car.

I'm not, but someone gave me 20 dollars to post that.

I joke around with some locals, about the street car vs race car debate.

any updates on this car for this year?

Nothing really great to report.

I broke a rod at the end of last year and had a new rotating assembly put together.

First pass out this year on the cog belt setup the car went 9.45 at 162. Not a great ET, but promising mph considering it was the first time out on the new combination.

I converted to the gear drive after that and took the car back out to the track. I was having some electronics issues so the car was stumbling and falling on its face. I still ran a low 9 at 157 in and out of the throttle. After that I found a bunch of issues that necessitated tearing the motor apart.

So, for now the motor is down to the shortblock. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to have it back together this season and really see what it is capable of.
