Jim Isherwood SS/DA #1 qualifier at Mission

this past weekend with his awesome Hemi Satellite at 9.21. Ran several more 9.23's but had a bit of a scare during qualifying. He's used to the wheelies but wasn't expecting the water at about 1/2 track. Another cool video!

Hot Car, I could not tell by the pictures but is it still a sprung car ? A year or so when I saw it last it still was which makes it unbelievable !

Ladder bars now i think. Still had the leaf springs just a few years ago.

Awesome performance. Jim isn't head of major corporation or anything, this is not a max-dollar effort and he's had the car since the days when Barrett-Jackson sold Pierce Arrows and not Hemis.

This is just a FUN car to watch, Wheels up every launch and FAST. You will have a tough time finding a nicer couple than Jim and his wife.

Anyone know what engine combo is in that car?
