After a week at the body shop, 2 weeks in the fab shop, and 2 weeks at my house, we finally have the car race ready. It wasn't cheap, it wasn't easy...but it's back.<br /><br />That's not the only change. We've decided to try out something different this season and we're changing classes. The black car is going to debut in WCHRA's Drag Radial class this weekend. Yes, that means the car is now on a set of 275 M/T drag radials and those little sticks out the back are gone...<br /><br />Huge thanks to everyone that helped to get the car going...Jim Harris, A & Wiltz Auto Body, DJ, my brother Gary, Manny from Five Point Tires, Adam Calderon from Calderon tires, and Chris Alston Jr..<br /><br />We leave in the AM for tomorrow's test and tune session which is at 2:00PM. Come on by the pits and say hi if you are out there...<br /><br /> <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0dd04b3127ccef9e7fa5f41cc00000040O08Act2TFo0atAe3nw4/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0dd04b3127ccef9e783e301d400000040O08Act2TFo0atAe3nw4/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0dd04b3127ccef9e6a8c5e00300000040O08Act2TFo0atAe3nw4/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/" alt=" - " /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 25, 2010, 06:29 PM: Message edited by: Team SOLO ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>96mysticman</b> <br /><small>Member # 8327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,2,25,19,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> congrats that thing is super sick <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>darkhorse04</b> <br /><small>Member # 8780</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,2,25,20,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Car looks a lot better! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> I will stop by and say hi on Sat. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jayl</b> <br /><small>Member # 185</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,2,25,20,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> fuck yeah!! you guys got that bitch lookin good!
