    Man that's got to be quite a thrill ride!

    My F1 ate its impeller cone this time last year and I just haven't been in the mood to wash the car let alone drop more money into it. I certainly miss the bone jarring power though!

    I really wanted to finally get some track time again this year as I've yet to take it since swapping from the Trilogy, but I don't see it happening. Maybe next year? I don't expect anything record breaking with the six speed, but I didn't build it for that like you have. I built mine for street fun and reliability (except for Procharger's piss poor design of the cone..) and also for the Chicago half mile. Not that I'd ever have the balls to run it, but ready if I found a bigger set. Brass perhaps.

    AT the track today,on the way to another record run,at the 1/8 mi.[at 119 mph.] the front of the crankshaft broke sending the balancer and pulley into the track [at 7300 rpm] leaving a hole in the track that took 45 min. to repair.This sucks.

    Right now it's really light (no engine blew up) and for sale.

    Sorry to hear about this Joe. She was a fast one.
