WOW! big thumps up!

i start to think about which 'records' are still on your to-do-list…  Grin

I have 4 more ET/Mph goals still and a endurance goal of finishing drag week so plenty to keep me occupied  Smiley

Again, congrats for your achievement. 

Seeing the Cabrio on Drag week, scaring some Yankees on their own playground, would be awesome  Cool

It looks like drag racing is gaining some more attention. Any plans on racing the car on the street outlaws TV show?  Grin

Better gearing would help and a taller 1st might yield another 1/100 or so in 60ft but more power mid track is what I really need,.....
..... will hopefully allow another 1000rpm and that will change gearing need so going to leave it alone for now, its always going to be a compromise somewhere with a car like this that see's street miles as well
i'm curious, what are your gears now?

I have some simple stuff to do that should remove about 50-60lbs weight from it without cutting anymore out,

Hi Richie,

How did all of this started? I mean, you are now at the top of the hobby, but did you start with a 1641cc kadron engine, or did you decide to go full swing from the beginning? Tell us some stories, I warm some water and put beers in the fridge  Wink

Dokke asked me to write something like this earlier in the year for a magazine he writes for, I will try digging it up and send it to you Smiley

I think I first met Richie when the cab had just got into the 13's and I remember thinking that it was stupidly quick for a cab! Can't believe that it's now an 8-second street car - incredible. Still one of my favourite cars of all time.
