Any progress on any new FS builds?
I have been following Larry Hills progression with Dumbo. Actually got to see it run a couple weeks ago down at Beech Bend. Looked really good.
Who else out there has been working on something? Aybody Changing up what they have? I know Jerry Heath has got to be getting close with his CJ. My Drag Pak project has picked up a little steam lately. Maybe seeing Larry's becoming a raceable car gave me a shot in the arm. I'm still lacking a few parts to complete at this time ( and $ ), but it's coming along pretty good and giving me hope! Anyway, nothing has been posted on the Factory Stock / SS catagory since February 13th. Thought I'd try to get a little chatter going here Who's doing what?

Re: Any progress on any new FS builds?
Well, it's not a showdown car, but I bought a 2013/2014 Cobrajet with the NA 302 combo. The car was about 95% complete, we finished it and tried to start it and found that #5 cylinder is bad. The previous owner had the motor built and dynoed and I think they hurt it and didn't realize it. So then all this virus stuff hit so I haven't been able to mess with it. I've been gathering parts to run it as a Mustang GT and put the car in A/SA and B/SA. Should be fun!!

Re: Any progress on any new FS builds?
David Barton now does a package with turn key solutions. I think its called Barton Racer package. They built a CRC car to his specs he does the power plant, 7 days befor Norwalk my car didnt have any drive train in it. We did some test hits at Maple Grove weekend befor Norwalk. My first pass at Norwalk was the 7 time my I took the car down the track with full pass Qualified 10 and stayed there all weekend. I could not be happier with how he has the car working. Now if i could learn to drive it we will be in business LOL
