The car is a Charlie Stewart Race Cars 252 inch chassis. It is a competition eliminator style ultra-light slip joint chassis, the final race weight with 200 lbs. driver is 1747 lbs. I ordered this from day one to be a Duramax powered NHRA Top dragster or B/DA if I get tired of diesels

The JE pistons and light weight pin.

The rods and pistons allowed a saving 890 grams

It really is. It takes a lot of money to put a program like this together. I have more than one program that I work with from a 500 inch NHRA Pro Stock team that I work with; to my two land speed efforts, and a Gas competition eliminator program. All of That, and a full time job as a lieutenant on the fire department.

The car is close , with the power these motors make and the light weight , plus this car is designed to work good , I expect sub 7 second times fairly early. I also expect 1 flat 60. I will have 2 sets of tires one for good tracks and running fast 33 / 15’s and a bigger tire for my less experiences driver Jordan and bracket racing.

it is taking a while , but it’s very close , but it takes more than just money, and I've spent a lot. I'm not building a 8 second bracket dragster, but one that has to run in the 6's to compete in NHRA's tough Top Dragster class. it has to make 5 to 8 laps in a 4 to 6 hour race.
I'm not worried, about what people think, it’s going to the track when I'm ready.
My core sponsors are happy, and we looking forward to 15 to 18 NHRA and IHRA events next year. I will try to make Pomona, I’ll be there with the comp team one way of the other.

Look kill can't wait to see what it can do.


Also:

And you say "Jordan who is my daughters older sister".......isnt it easier to say my oldest or older daughter?


I was thinking that too. But maybe it is his daughter's older sister but may not be his daughter. Like a Step daughter or something. I don't know just was an odd way of saying it maybe. But it does not matter at all. If she does well she will get known fast and looking as good as she does it won't take long to be known.

Tell he good luck and remember give 100% if you can't give 100% don't make the pass that's when stuff goes wrong.
( talking about her not the dragster )

First off nice build! :)


You guys are bad . My bet is that his wife had a daughter coming into their arrangement what ever it maybe and then they had a child together making Jordan her older sister but not really ,therefore not his biological daughter nor really her sister but being family. Stop being nosy! :D
