Yea she's pretty. Just wish Craig (Radical Racing) would get off his *** and finish off the few minor things he has left to do so we can go run her.

Well had to wash my hands of Radical Racing. The car has been sitting since Halloween with nothing done to it. Time to move on. Towed it to another shop to get it wired up and hopefully we'll be running soon. Gotta say trying to find a shop that wont screw yea is a bigger challenge then building the car in the driveway!

I've been waiting for an update on this, sorry to hear it's not a good one. Hope you find one that's worth the money. Good luck

Craig Radovich runs his business very badly. He's currently bankrupt and has to keep accepting deposits to meet his bankruptcy ruling. Even though he currently has car sitting at his shop for up to two years with no work completed. He's basically staying afloat on the deposits. Its really ashame because the guy does beautiful work. But he doesn't have an issue with accepting peoples money knowing he'll never be able to live up to obligations. He also lies more than anyone else I've ever met. He told me he had cancer and his mom had died for a few of his excuses as to why the work wasn't getting done. Neither was remotely true! Luckily I didn't give him a large deposit and prodded him to work on my car by showing up at his shop and turning wrenches with him. The guys personal life is a mess. His business is a mess. But he has no one to blame but himself.

Did you drop a valve at the end there ??? lol

Congrats on a runner finally. Sounds like sweet sweet music to a gearhead.

Now it's going to be a long, long winter waiting for the tracks to open.

Haha I know you were joking about the valve. But you wouldn't believe what goes thru your head. After waiting almost two years to hear it run. It came up perfectly. Started on the first hit. And timeing wasn't real far off.

Hopefully I can get 20 or 30 motor passes on it before Atco closes. I'll spray it next spring after all the bugs are worked out.
