BAD NEWS the next pass had major problems looks like the rear end will need replaced so looks like it will be down for a while till they get the rear apart and see what it will take to fix it . I was looking forward to see it run this weekend

WOW is all I can say. It looks like our Vern House chassis and Kintner Racing Engine/Transmission work well together. Art ,Ollie and myself have worked very hard to get the "Grey Ghost" where she's currently at. I'm very fortunate to have a pit crew of friends like I do. Looks like the ring and pinion will need replaced. I just hope we can get one before Saturday. We'll have the car apart tomorrow just to confirm that nothing else is wrong. The night started out good but ended on a bad note. The good thing is at least it happened before the race. Plus, Art finally figured out where the groove is.:D. Trust me, I'll need every bit of it to keep up with the Bramwell's and the N/A BB's once they're figured out.

Holy shit!! Is right! This keeps up were going to have to call it super street outlaw 8.5! WOW! David, Art, and the whole Pouw camp! Congrajulations on the pass that is unbelievable! I new it was in the car, you guys have paid your dues for sure and deserve major respect for that! Art I respect you guys in a major way because of the countless trails tribulations you've been through, plus the countless money put into it! I new these cars were capable of this kind of peformance and safely! Sounds like the other 8.5 racers better step up there game! I also would like to say I respect OSM for what they are doing just wish we could get something like you guys got up there down here in the south! CONGRATES DAVE, ART!!!

Dang, Art and Loran thrashed to get the car done and now we have to wait for two more weeks.:( I guess we'll just have to go test with Vern and just see if we can do any better. Doug should be testing soon too. Maybe we can make it a threesome!:D
