$2000 cars are getting much better looking.

Are there any more photos of this car, or a build thread somewhere. It speaks to me on some weird level.

Was 11.1 the fastest run?

No, I think Andy ran a 10.3 in the Beetle.

Holy crap - a 10.3? What kind of trap speed?

the car was built out of used circle track parts the guy had laying around. i might have a few pics in the friday tread, have to take a look over there. i did a couple of under the hood and a couple inside shots i think.

that's one fine-ass automobile.

i have a video of mr nelson's 10.3 pass but won't be messing with cutting it down until we get back to ohio next week. it's crazy fast.

13 overall. was gunning for a top 5 drag finish but first run the oil pan gasket split at the dipstick casting bump and i oiled my slicks and had a wild pedalling/coasting ride from the 1/8 mile beam to the end of the track. i planned to use my first few runs to dial in carb/timing then hit the bottle. unfortunately only got one partial run and still posted the 14th drag time. autocross was mid pack but i've never done it before and i refused to let a pro driver drive my car. i went to drive, not to watch someone else drive my car. i think that's my only "complaint" on the weekend. i was very pleased to see the A&M kids pilot their own ride and smack down the rest of the field by a mile.

Really happy with the way our car turned out and preformed with it not being tested.

The Dodge Neon is just nuts!!!! We really need a closer look at that car. The engineering that went in to building that is just fantastic!!!!!
