The car is more strip than street but does get driven on the street quite a bit too.
The Kirkey seats I may go with are the pro street type seats and (to me anyway) are quite comfortable. But I have been saying I was gonna get those for a couple years now...LOL.
And as far as the door bars go, yeah they HAVE to be there to be legal at the track anyway. The carpet on the dash is just a dash cover that I had back in the early 90's and somehow still winds up on there sometimes. If I leave it on there it lays down a lot better than in the pics. Also noticed that I coulda tied the wires under the dash up a little better before posting pics...LOL

Oh yeah, and the intake is a Team G intake with the tall plenum.

Yes It's a delay box. I usually run the super pro class when bracket racing and occassionally a few heads up/index races here and there. A delay box is a necessity in the super pro/electronics/box (or whatever you call it at your track) class.

Well a lot of cars out there are a lot faster than they look these days and I'd love to tell ya this was an 8 second ride but I'd be lying. So for now, 10's will have to do.
The setup is pretty basic too. 406 with a roller cam and a set of "out of the box" brodix track ones with a glide and a 10" converter. No nitrous, no blower, turbo or any other high dollar add ons. Just a fun little ride to play with. Upgraded from the 8.5 10 bolt to a 9" over last winter too.

I'm always willing to help anyone out or answer any questions I can about my setup. I doubt I'll be selling this one though... LOL
I've had this car for a little over 20 years now. I couldn't count on both hands and feet the number of cars, trucks and racecars that I have been through over the years but for some reason this one has never left. I have also had more fun in this one and won more money in this car than a lot of the faster, more high dollar cars that I have been in over the years.
