lol...busted, but really.....for those of you who know jimmy who didn't see this coming? y'all knew he couldn't stay away from competitive racing for long
The original goal of the car was to have a 10 second daily driver on a budget....Jimmy put around 4500 miles on the car after it was put together and came up a tenth short, 11.10@130mph on a small motor and decent turbo, oreillys axles, and an open diff trans (what's your excuse b18c? we did that shit with less than $1200 in the car, and actually drove it to some events...you run mid 10's on a mortgages worth of mods and dyno time, lol)
at any rate....first stop is to finally knock down the 10's, which will be easily attainable on low psi, second stop?
the car will retain streetability, though i highly doubt it will see much street use, if any at all.
2010 should be fun....check back for daily/bi-daily updates on the build and an announcement of our race schedule this year!![]()

as vtecace eluded to....this is a different car with a different driver

. Thanks! My goal is to put together a nice car with stuff that I have laying around the shop. I above anyone else on this thread knows first hand how hard it is to run nines. It is a goal that may or may not be reached this year, but even if I dont, I can assure you that I will enjoy the journey, even the hard parts. the Blue Hatch is on the back burner for now. Hopefully I can get it back out soon. The D Series is not forgotten either, we have a build in the planning stages that should be a lot better than the last one and it will be a street car also. About the Teg being a street car, I will have to see if I can afford one more insurance premium as I have a car that I am going to finish soon so my wife can save some gas over the Suburban. That setup was street driven in 08 on 18 lbs and pump gas. Went 7.6 in the 1/8 on drag radials in the blue hatch. I decided that I didnt want to cage that car so I would stop with it. Well here we are, Commerce is less than 2 months away, and I JUST pulled the D Series last Thursday the 21st. As I dont touch the car during the day, there will be some late nights coming up.
