Thought I would share a nice shot of my Ultima throwing flames at Road Atlanta USA. Running a SBC with 720 HP and 8K redline. Carbs are tuned a bit rich apparently. Love it.

Mine does the same. I wouldn't want to stop it. It really scares people who are following me!

Hopeful my SBC will be up to that standard.

Nice…!

Give me a few more months and I'll bring mine up to RA run with you. I'm planning to be at Sebring & Daytona regularly; you could always come down here, too!

Ken,

Where are you located? Sebring used to be my home track when I lived in Florida (93-99). I am from Charlotte, but was visiting Road Atlanta because there were two other Ultimas at the event. I know of three other Ultimas in GA and NC as well. Seems like we need to all get together for a track event soon!

Hi David,

I live in Clermont (near Orlando). I used to participate with Skip Barber (in their formula car) at Sebring, so I'm most familiar with that track, though I'm looking forward to taking the Ultima to a range of NASA and Chin events, especially Sebring, RA, Barber, COTA, and Daytona.

I'm still building, though I hope to be done by my birthday in mid-June. If I don't make it, I shouldn't miss by much. Current goals are: center section mounted by end of March and engine installed in April. We shall see… smile

I'll look forward to meeting you later this year.

Yes Dom
The president all but stopped our shuttle program, he doesn't like non-muslim endeavors.
So the stateside Ultima's will be using upward canards and up force wings to try and reach the space station.
We do have a Stargate, but that has been shut down as well, where do you think HE came from.

BY THE WAY Piston Heads; How to Do A DRIVE BY ? Put a camera on the ground and drive real fast real close?
interesting….
