"F/R weight"
Not saying it's wrong, but that motor is "OUT THERE". I don't think I've ever seen a cowling as long as that. Especially relative to wheelbase. But I'm sure you and Ken know what you're doing. Thanks for the pictures and updates, let's see some VIDEO!

John will you be going to the Dutch Classic at Maple grove ? i will be there with Billy and I will be running my car also in Top Dragster . My son is racing his car in Top Dragster as well . If you are there come over and say hello . As far as weight go's you will just have to wait and see what the car wants . I have 24 lbs in the front of mine and it still carries the front wheels . My converter stalls at 8200 but I get my best 60 ft's leaving around 4200 . Hope to see you at the Dutch ! Bill

Thanks Bill...we'll see what happens...down headers worked out great.  Do you have yours reassembled yet?  Can't wait to see you crack Top Dragster again!

Finally got car out today at Maple Grove (Reading) got two time runs during regular bracket program.  First pass "Check out pass" 8.17 / 132 dumping at 1000'.  Car hard on the wheelie bar...even with motor out that far...made bar adjustment. Second pass 7.645 / 174.87.  Lost .02 in 60' raising wheelie bar?  6.0 lbs in 2585's on 12" rim.  Two-Step at 4200.  I think it has more in there...need to fine tune a few things.  Video to follow.
