Now thats inspiration! Nice job Peter and all the best with the new car and the upcoming season!

Now that's very impressive, my hats off to you...can you tell us a little about the motor.

(Quote Hemimoose)Now that's very impressive, my hats off to you...can you tell us a little about the motor(end quote)

It's stock with a fullrace cam and tubular headers. ( chuckle)

Now for real:, The ENGINE - 6.4L Fresh Block, Crankshaft, Manley Connecting rods, Diamond Pistons, Total Seal Gapless Rings, Comp Cam (Custom Grind), Stock Milodon Oil Pan (8 qt.), MR2 Performance (Mike Roth) Step/ Merge /Stainless Steel Headers, Ati Balancer, BigStuff3 EMS cw Crank Trigger. Drag Pak Intake Manifold and Throttle Body.
MPR Alternator Mount kit, Aeromotive Fuel System Components.

Stripped the original 6.1l engine to the short block and freighted all the peripheral componets to Jeff Taylor.

Built to N.H.R.A. Specifications and Tuned by Jeff Taylor at Jeff Taylor Performance , Sellersburg, Indiana. Hi Jeff and Patty! Thanks for your patience! (with me and my engine shipping)!

Thanks for the additional info on the Hemi motor...so you're not running a 3/4 race cam, traction bars, or air shocks, huh...be sure to get some thrush mufflers if you ever drive it on the street though, lol

I told Peter to use Purple Hornies or Cherry Bomb's. Thrush mufflers rust out too fast from all the salt on the roads during winter driving.

Hi Peter, cool car, but I gotta ask, are those racing photos taken at the Port Alberni (B.C.)Airport drags?? If so, it certainly seems to work well, especially for a blacktop "track" that sees cars on it only one weekend a year. Are you from the Island?

I noticed this thread had kind of fallen off the face of the earth! Just to maybe give it a second wind--Peter's efforts to field this car are quite remarkable considering he is an unknown guy living on an island on the west coast of Canada. Think how difficult it would be to build any racecar without a collection of "contacts", then once you get the car done, have to take a two hour ferry boat ride before you can drive to the nearest dragstrip. A lot of racers bemoan the demise of the small grassroots racer, now is the chance to help support what is truly an example of a racer the way it was. Thanks

Don, don't be giving away all my advantages, eh.

Rory, yes these photos are taken at "Thunder in the Valley 2011".

Island boy for sure, eh.

I hope you can drop a daily vote and/or video run for my entry.
