My first year of racing (2002) I only took the car to the track 4 times, maybe had 20 passes that year. Like a lot of guys, I started out this car build intending to do a street car that I would maybe take to the track occasionally. Well, one time at the track, and I was hooked. I was a bad driver and the car was not really where I wanted it to be. I was running a much more mild 455 than I run now and a Richmond T-10 four speed. Bracket racing a four speed is not easy and elimination round wins were non existent. The car was only running low 13 second passes. My wife even commented how she thought it would go faster (words she regrets to this day). So it was on to plan "B". Now we set out to build a bracket car I could drive on the street occationally. So an 11 second motor was built, the 4 speed came out, and a TH400 went in. The rear end was filled with better parts to take the torquey launches. That is pretty much the way the car still is.
These were taken at Cordova by a buddy in 2004 I believe.
