Unfortunately there will be no track times, at least not anything on an official track. He shaved his door handles, and thus cannot take it down a 1/4 mile track.

And yes, you are correct... if I really wanted OFFICIAL 1/4 times I could get them.

But as I have said repeatedly, i didn't build a track truck... this would be a horrible track truck, as far as my idea of a track truck - sbsc, tubbed, etc. I just built it the way I wanted, not conforming to any specific type of class... show, track, combo, etc...

it's not fully tuned, we did not have time between the initial tune and the SEMA show... when I get back we will finish the tune and a few other things on the truck. Once it is fully tuned, numbers will be posted, and vids. If I get a chance later tonight I will try and post one of the initial dyno runs...

I got these covers (100% carbon fiber) from a guy on silveradoss.com his name is art his screen name is WICKEDOWESIX I think I paid around $500 for both, don't remember.
Thanks for the compliment too.
I got the caltracs direct from calvert racing, who makes them and they are a f'n pain in the *** to install to, but work well.
