Well it's the beginning of a new season. Couple of changes to the truck this winter. Hoping for some better e.t.'s without losing the signature wheelstand. Couple of plugs for the good people that helped us out this year. #1 Mike from Alkydigger's. He's got the mechanical fuel injection perfect. #2 Lou Morgantini from Morgantini Racing. Sent Lou our heads and he really woke them up.
First time out to test we went to Beaver Springs Dragway, cause Beaver Bob has one of the best hooking tracks around. Unseasonable cold with a steady 30 mph head wind. Wasn't the best racing conditions. But the Special didn't let us down. Actually it was hard to keep her down. Clicked the 60' time with the rear slicks and hit so hard on the wheelie bars got air under all 4's. Next stop after some more local testing, Union Dragway, Union South Carolina. great show with a cool bunch of guys. Steel In Motion May 15 & 16. June is full starting with the Gasser Reunion at Thompson Raceway Park, June 5 & 6. Beaver Springs PA Gasser Nationals June 12, 13, 14. Of course the Holly Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green KY, June 18, 19, 20. Then off to a great show in Maryland at Mason/Dixon Dragway. June 27. To top it all off The 38 Special will be making a run at the Newest Version of PINKS ALL OUT. To be held at Rockingham Dragway, NC. July 1-4. So any of you fellow gassers, if in the area stop by and say HI!

Been a busy year. We added mechanical fuel injection last year and seemed to chase it all year long. Sent it down to Alkydiggers (Mike) in Nashville and she really came to life now! Unfortunately right in the middle of our June racing tour she went kaboom. Missed one race (Bowling Green Hot Rod Reunion) but had the 38 up and running the following week. 2015 comming to an end. Couple more shows, couple more races. As always ending the year with Bruce Larson's Dragfest.

Love to see the giant wheelstands! Did you break the wheelie bars at Beaver Springs?

Replaced the fender well headers with weed burners (zoomies). Need to get some of that hit out coming off the line. Looks cool and sounds great. Now let's see how she performs.
