The final pieces are here. This builder talked me into drag brakes. Expensive. But very lite and work so much better than stock.

Those always amazed me. There's barely any meat to them, they take incredible amounts of heat, and DON'T WARP !!! How is that possible lol.

Congrats on them though, expensive yes, but you sir have a REAL race car there.

Well, I suppose we should wait till it makes a pass lol.

The track was closed tonight due to weather and closes for the year Friday. It might be a very long wait til March. But it's finally coming together. Cant complain to much.

Those brakes are badass man. That whole build has turned out to be nasty. If you get too impatient just bring it down here to Raleigh!

Two years and a bunch of skinned knuckles but she's about ready to race. We'll have a couple of nitrous cars to talk about again real soon!

Couple more random pictures. Sheet metal work for the trunk and we put in a sheet metal console. New switches and gauges. These are old photos so the wires are all tucked away and the mess has been cleaned up.
