A lot of us were under a "Cone of Silence" out of respect for Richie.... He didn't want a lot of people to know about the build, so we honored his request.



* For those not familiar with the Cone of Silence, please watch old episodes of Get Smart....

Hmm, I don't get all the hush-hush secrecy that goes with certain car builds sometimes, but I guess that's just me.

Well.....

Some people shout from the roof about how fast or how good there new race car is......... then it never performs as expected, where as Richies has worked so hard over the last 10 years perfecting his car and knocking on some really good times, when building his next car he as he did before just worked away with out the song and dance that some folks have..... a secret it was not, public knowledge it wasnt, however Fuckin Fast it is.............. Grin Go Richie Go

Ps we dont need two of him, 1 is enough i can asure you.  Wink

At Sacramento this weekend the car made total 6 passes, 2 friday night just trying to get it set up and 4 yesterday on a track that had been rained on most of saturday, car is getting straighter every pass and as the track got better Richie was able to just about make a full pass,
best ET was 9.541 @ 138.808 mph with only 8lbs of boost, not bad for only just over 2 weeks since we 1st tested at Irwindale, lots more to come for sure Smiley

Thanks for Dean Kirsten for this picture, due to the fact I was racing my car as well this weekend, I didn't get a chance to take any good pictures myself.

It shouldn't take too long for your wish to come true, the car is already at the shippers and hopefully here next month.
