Yes it does, takes ;D 3 football fields and two monkeys, ??? the car  is a 232 inch wheel base. The chassis is a ex top fuel out of Mass., (I think) build by “Hauling Chassis.

 It was updated by SMRacing with the help from the great one :o :o :o :o :o Rooman

Monkeys are for pick the front end up  in the pits and loading and unloading the car 8) 8) 8) 8)

We got the itch to try some nito. I was only able to get 66 oz of the stuff. I mixed it with 4 gallons.  After 4 runs testing last night  I drained the fuel system and used the 11. % (BV) mix. It took a few seconds and the engine changed it's tone. We made two runs with the mix and picked up everywhere. I had left my Race Air at the shop so I can't say what the conditions were but it had been 85+ and humid. Our 60' improved from 1.13 to 1.09, Et from 5.23 to 5.11 and MPH picked up about 1 to 136. I ran a 78 in the main bypass with no high speed , 14as nozzles, didn't see more than 65psi in the fuel system. I'm suspecting the Waterman 400 might be an issue.


Run #2 with mixed fuel.
1.0989 - 60'
3.2718 -330'
4.7849 -594' et
5.1160 -660' et
135.94 - mph

Runs were made with Hoosier 12 x 31 JR fuel tire. I am real sure my old Goodyear 2585s would be faster but I am saving them for our last scheduled race, September 7th.
