The 2001 season is right around the corner. I will be updating this page soon. I'm working to get last year information up-to-date.

My goals for the season are; Run in the points at PRP and make the Indy team! Get the car running in the mid 11's in the quarter and in the low, low 7's in the eight mile. I want to win at least 2 races (not rounds) and win over $1000 without breaking any major parts.

Here are some more pictures of the car going back together.

Put in some new alum. in the back.

It's back together and running!

Here are the 2" drop spindles, still in the box! I also have MOROSO trick front springs and Energy Suspension front control arm bushings.

I also have all the parts now to rebuild the front end and drop it about 4 -5".

Test & Tune at PRP. Not to bad for the first time out! Now that's some good lights! I got in the gamblers race and spun off the line in the 2nd round. There was a S-10 street truck in front of me, I think I got into some water.
Avg. Temp 70, Avg. Humidity 35%

Here's a picture from the track. New truck and trailer set-up for the 2001 season.

First Points Meet at PRP. Had a bad light in the first round. The car is spinning, I think that I need to bring down the RPM's on the line. I was launching about 3000 - 3200.

Here's the pit crew helping with the new rear spoiler (home made) for the car. It's almost done. I also bought a coil-over set-up from Hal Shocks.

Here's the new rear spoiler.

The new HAL coil-over kit (DR2000-K) is on and does it look good. Here are the before and after pictures.

BEFORE	AFTER

This is how I want the car to sit after the front end is done. In the picture below the straps are holding down the front end.

Second Points Meet at PRP. Not to bad, lost the 4th round on a double break out by 0.003.
Avg. Temp 56, Avg. Humidity 71%

The first pass my shift light didn't work and it came up on the rev limiter. The next two passes I dialed in the rear shocks. I plan on taking it out for a test and tune to play with the shock setting, so far I really like them.
