Great question. Maskin?

The busier he is the happier he is. Trust me I know. He is not scared to work.

He couldn't be scared if he came up with this plan, and I'm sure he will be very happy. And with his record he should make plenty of people miserable with that car!

Dad is very happy with the car! He missed the show at NORWALK... But he only had one day to test before NORWALK and that was wed. of the race... And IHRA only gives you 3 passes where nhra gives you 4.... He has not run IHRA pro stock in 12 years and he came within a hundredth of making the show... He had the wrong rear gear in the car and nobody had the gear he needed, also the carbs were not set up right and the car was too lean.. He kept putting jet in just not enough each time...He will be in NH in 2 weeks and he is going testing a couple times before then.....

That big engine combo would have to completely throw off the geometry of the car but it would be interesting to give it a try. Oh and I agree nice looking ride!

Damn, if he can do that well with only one day of testing then he's not far off from laying some serious smackdown in the not-too-distant future.
