Nitro Madness AA/FA

[WildcatOne]

Me, too, BP...from watching Rapid and the crew work on the car at Eddyville, preparing it for one run, and from seeing the pit pictures of the Nitro Madness team at work between rounds, it is imperative that every single fraction of an inch on that car, from top to bottom, front to back, side to side, is microscopically inspected, adjusted, fine-tuned and positioned to perfection in order for the car to run properly and safely. Nobody got in a hurry. Nobody overlooked the slightest detail. It's necessary with one of these things. It all works together to connect itself to its purpose. It's a fully integrated high-performance system built into a land-locked missile with a pilot sitting inside of it...excellent story, Rapid...I could see it going on. Good luck on the '23 T deal. I have no doubt that whoever ends up with it will have something they'll be proud of. Cheers, WC1

Thanks BP, when you see a car all done and everything works and looks like it belongs you say to yourself, yeah nice car. Well built. Most don't see how moving one part effects so many others. Even something as simple as which side to run the cable or wiring down the car dictates where the handle or control goes in the car.

Doc, I don't recognize that name but back in that time there were a few of us trying the hat on a tunnel ram deal. We had trouble running the engine on alky, then adding alky and NO2, it became to cold to make good HP. We switched to cam 2 in the NO2 system and the car picked up.

Thanks for the kind words WC. My guys do a great job of making sure I am safe,,,,and ready for action. When I get in the car, I can just let it all go. I KNOW the car is ready and it is time to have FUN!!

Here are some photos I snapped this afternoon. They go along with what I described earlier.
