atomicfusion1647545515 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well, I have to say that I think 2010 was a great success. We accomplished pretty much everything that we were hoping to accomplish this year, and we left a few things on the table for next year. Before I get into plans for 2011, I want to say that 2010 would not have been such a success without the help I received. Special thanks have to go out to Jeff, Tommy, Eric, and the rest of the crew at IPS Motorsports.net. The sponsorship that they offered made it possible for me to go as fast as I did and win the titles and races that we won. I know that there are people on this board that don't exactly like IPS, but I have been more than happy with the success that we have achieved together. Now, on to 2011. Today we began dissassembly of the car in preparations for next year. I have to point out that I drove the car into the shop today under it's own power and I couldn't have been happier with how well the car lasted and performed this year. So, we are still finalizing the specifics of the changes, but the goals are simple for 2011. ~2000rwhp and a new all car IRS world record for 2011. We plan on racing competitively in the outlaw drag radial class and intend to be faster than 7.50 next year, so some changes are naturally going to be required. First off we are upgrading the cage and chute's to support speeds faster than 7.50 and 200mph. Now, I am NOT, I repeat NOT stating that we are going to run out our first pass and run 7.49@200mph next year, we may not even hit 200mph (actually im fairly certain we will top out just shy of 190) and I am not sure how long it will take to get everything setup after the changes are done. Hopefully I will be able to share some pictures and progress as the build goes on and come this spring, hopefully new records will be set.

atomicfusion1647545515 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah, I'm not too excited about getting in and out of that thing, but I want to be competitive in the Outlaw drag radial class and I need to be running 7.50 or faster to do that. I said I would never do this cage either, but here it goes into the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
