Its registered and insured, I've driven it down the road a few times but C16 is expensive and this thing is thirsty. The only somewhat clean hit I made at a decent track it went 5.40s with a soft tune up. Once I get the suspension lined out Ill be able to hit it harder and turn on both kits. The track where the picture is taken is George Rays wildcat drag strip, awesome place for no prep but its sketchy AF. Ill post another picture of the track.

Drag Racing Legend George Ray Passes Away
Built and operated Hot Rod Wildcat Drag Strip in Paragould, a Northeast Arkansas racing institution.

In 1961, he built what remains one of the only heads-up only dragstrips in his backyard in Paragould. The all concrete track is 1/8 mile, and has been in operation for the past 49 years [as of 2009]. It is an racing institution in Northeast Arkansas.
Mr. Ray began racing in Tennessee, then decided to build the Wildcat Hot Rod Drag Strip when he realized that they favored certain drivers. The track was his labor of love to say the least. He had his own set of rules for races. Cars were raced by engine size, horsepower, etc.
Im old school. Its a small block chevy, pump gas 383 with a fogger on it. You can go to walmart and still run 5.60s
