New blown engine is at the machine shop. Car now has a complete belly pan. I am to start soon making a one piece removable front end. I also will modify the front for a full hood scoop from the front of the car to the top above the windshield. Sumner was here two weeks ago and we spent a lot of time talking about the changes in the car. We plan to go ludicrous speed this year.

The fastest man, Tom Burkland has been giving us some advise and we are very grateful for his time and help.

Thanks for asking.

Thanks for the update WZ Junk. I am not sure how fast ludicrous is but it sounds fast

. Looks like the team might break the record this year, fingers crossed. Keep us up to date as work progresses on the project.

A few questions to close any loop-hole in the information. Is this blown engine on gas or fuel? What size is it? What class will the car be in this year? What is the record? GPster

I think we want to keep a few details out of the public domain for a while. I will try to email you, Joe, a little later in the weekend and give you some details. We will be posting updates on the changes to the car at Sumner' site in the near future at http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/temp-pictures/hooley-2004.html
