Well its been a while since there has been an update, but we just wanted to let you know that we are very close to completing the Challenger. Between shows and events, the car has been at Stormy’s Street Rods getting all the necessary pieces (fuel system, cooling system, transmission and drivetrain) Next, myself with a couple of volunteers tackled the entire wiring of the car.
Thank God for Google, and the great tech help from AEM, who saved me countless hours of guessing. Attached are some photos of the car, and its hard to tell, but a lot of small details took a large amount of fabricating time. If all goes well, we should be firing the car later this week and running a dyno session as well. The proposed debut of the Challenger will be on Wednesday August 8 at Castrol Raceway for Hot August Night. We will keep you posted on the final progress.
As for the rest of the program, the Duster has been running very consistently at 10.01, 10.03, etc. on the few times we’ve managed to get to the track. We have been busy at all sorts of community events with a nice display at Edmonton Indy this year. I purchased a stacker trailer last fall and it has really come in handy with logistics.
The Mustang received the new engine and clutch, and on the 2nd pass down the track at the Rocky Mtn Nationals the transmission piled up the 1/2 and 2/3 syncros. It, too, is in the shop getting repaired in order to be ready for Hot August Night. The Mustang received some new decalling and it looks fresh.
We are booked every weekend in August, and have been invited down to Salt Lake City in September. We will hopefully get our website updated with the schedule. I will also be uploading video and photos of the Challenger and the rest of the cars making passes down the track.
We will be back soon with an update….
