Yes it does feel good. The engine is a freshened up version of what we ran last year new rack installed. But the front half is all new on the chassis

Headed out to Woodburn Dragstrip this weekend for hopefully to make a pass on the new rebuild of my chassis and engine. Our first event was a rain out.

Enjoyed seeing your pictures.  You’re double-fast impressive, both in the shop with new rack and front end ready to go, plus et/speed to runner-up.  Nicely done! 

Woodburn fascinating track.  Your comp number easy to remember.
