First time out with new motor April 11th, 2002.  Almost yanks the wheels on first run but car is so freaking low, it  still has a long way to really do it.  .  1.64 - 60' time, 7.61 sec in the 1/8th. Not bad for out of the box crate motor on pump gas! Oh and drove it to and from the track.

At Pomona with the old 289 motor back in 1993
