That's the plan. We already have the motor. Has the same motor as we have in this one!

I'll probably pick up a chute this week at PRI.

Well the yellow car is running a best of 7.43 @ 192mph on true 10.5's........I think we can make the orange car (We named it Hateraid) stick with what we'll have to work with!

hey, maybe you should call the 18 year old who drove 50 ft into the sand trap at Norwalk this year in a 17 sec 95 V6 Stang. I think her chute didn't open.....lol

Heck we had that happen at HRP just a few weeks back. Guy in an S197 I believe. Rolled through the water box, did his burnout and just kept going..... Never staged, almost hit the cars exitting the track at the other end, through the sand pit into the retainer.

How is that possible? Did his throttle get stuck or was he just dumb?

Something must have gone wrong, i dont know how anyone could possibly do that. unless he didnt see the trap...
