Winter upgrades......
Discussion
just a few small mods for us having worked our backsides off on both cars for the last 4 winters we quite like the idea of a quiet one. on the dragster were going to do a bit of port matching and porting for a few more bhp and also get a torque converter thats tailored for the car so she should leave the line a tad harder, doing a few things to gain some more consistancy but im not at liberty to talk about that 
on our autograss nova its just a case of knock a few dents out although we are taking it to shakey next weekend to do a bit of strip tunning.

Well after admiring back in the 90's a certain Roy Wilding Buick engined slingshot then eventually owning....racing.....and finally blowing up said car. The great Roy Wilding is building me a new chassie at the moment which will be about the same length as Hemi Hunter.
power will be provided by Buick once again initially untill TA Performance in the USA finish developing the Buick ali big block and will be building me a full tilt race engine.
Any way the car will hopefully be ready for the start of next year and will have new everything Hauser are building the ford 9" rear with strange goodies. and Mark williams is providing the front end tortion beam spindles etc alond with steering components
car is being built over spec but will be taged to 7.50 and will have i hope a late 60/early 70's look.
well thats about it really so please look out for it next year the car will be called IMMEDIATE ACTION.....WB 59.....raced along with The Wild Bunch

How's things Kim? slinky
Hi Will
Yep, with all of the money the engine etc is costing, it looks like we may have to swallow the corporate bullett and get some sponsors on board for next year to justify it. Hows things with you and yours??

Eeek... Going corporate... hopefully that should make life a little easier for you guys..
Hodgy's already said what we're doing with ours, but it felt strange putting it into the workshop for the winter on Saturday! Damn the winter and it's lack of race meetings (and weather!)
