I just wish this discussion was taking place on another thread. I obviously made a mistake in posting anything about this here. Sorry to have gotten things stirred up. This is the kind of thing that brings me down. Every racemaster has the option to race or not to race in their own event (pro classes) and every racer has the option to enter or not to enter. If either one bothers you, then don't do it. Pretty simple really. If the rules change tomorrow I am ok with it either way, but I am a trusting person by nature. So I am ok with it for now at any event. I am not going anywhere and I will continue to run races. As for putting disputes on open forum with or without names....that would be a huge mistake and I cannot foresee anything positive that would come from that.

Spent all day yesterday finishing up builds. Got behind on them for this race due to life happening around me. Finished the first Gasser to come out of AJR garage. Will only be sending one this time. E/D will be running an AW body. I was wanting to run an Eagle Racing wedge....no time. Got a few more runs to make this afternoon at the higher race voltage. Cars are sloooow, maybe that will wake them up. Hauler will be pulling out Monday.
'65 Nova AWB Gasser 
Test and Tune carnage 
Tbolt and Tbird Doorslammers are ready.

Nova looks awesome, nice job Jeff. Is that TBolt setting straight on chassis? You may need to take it apart and put it back together again oh two or three times tonight.....  |

LOL........yes it blew the whole front end as you can see. A Ford would have put a hole in the wall and run faster on the next pass!!  It went airborn and hit the floor perfectly. I had to glue it back together for the race. I don't have another one. Going to the track now for final...final testing. Then to the box....I mean the hauler. |

Cars are off to New Zealand. Time to finish up some ongoing projects and begin some new ones. FED's are back on the desk. More fabricating needs to be done to get ready for the Summer Nats. The Eagle gear beta project will also get started. I've got some ideas there. I also have a Dash vs Tjet build comparison I will be doing over the next couple of months. Need new Doorslammer and NF/C bodies too. Lots to do.....gotta love it!!

What Eagle said!! No ones done a Dash drag race comparison I've seen? Could be interesting?

Thank you Dave! That build has given me fits. It is definitely not perfect but I think it will turn out ok. Going to be as systematic on the Dash comparison as I know how to be. Trying to provide some insight on performance of the Dash vs Tjet. Also going to be making an effort to get more involved in building Tjets. There has always been a lot of talk about lack of Tjet classes running on the forum. I would like to see them run more and I am hoping to run at least 1 class at each of my events. Don't know how that will work out, but I can at least try. Good luck with your race!!

Finally finished the Biscayne. It is flawed, but I'm glad to get it done so that I can move on. It will take the place of the Tbird body. Next up is an Eagle Racing '70 Chevelle Pro Mod. My Doorslammers are switching from Ford to Chevy for the Summer Nationals. Also doing new NF/C builds following the Chevelle.....oh and the F.E.D.'s are always on the desk.  Anybody else got any projects going on?? Let's see them.
