I think your passenger side wheelie bar may be driving it a bit. Looks like its making real good power.

Randy,

You're doing good and I'm proud of ya! Very Happy I know you have been quicker than the 5.21 with your old combo, so when you get this baby lined out, I'm looking for fours.

Not a cape, not a hen turkey,,,,,,,,,,, just a parachute Laughing

Pretty tough to grudge race a tube deal, or anything other than a SS tt5 these days.

He's fast like all 25.1 cars are, and most people know it, and there's no point in grudge racing other 25.1 cars, that would be class racing. Definitely looks good though, a few adjustments and it should sprout wings.

I guess you could, I would think that would be more like match racing, since both cars would be similar. There's generally a hustle involved in grudge racing, with two cars they both would be stark raving mad, and all involved would know it. But I suppose you could arrange something.

"There's generally a hustle involved in grudge racing"

Yep, just like pool hustlers etc. -----it's just a gambling thing. Racing is just the venue for it.

It's no different than hustling pool, or darts, or anything of that sort. It's gambling, no more, no less.
