A guy i know just bought a few cars over the winter, a pro mod and a pro stock car to name two of them.. and he told me hes looking for a driver for the pro mod and wants me to drive it.. i looked it over, sat in it, he explained how everythign works to me, and :shock: this is the first time i've ever really gone "holy wow" about driving a car... here's some pics, and a crappy camera phone pic of the supercharged engine... how's a 6.0 second pass sound?

you gonna take the ride?
they're a new team, and they need to get everything straight.. if i can find a crew chief that i trust with my life (230+ mph is nothing to joke about) then yes, ill take it.. i need to see how they work together.. they have the money, im not sure if they have the experience.

it wouldnt be so bad if that motor was in a nice, long dragster...but its a lot shorter. if you do decide to run that car, let me know so I can be there for it.

Just think it over, youll make the right decision, and if you regret it, just remember you did what you wanted to do, at one point in time.

maybe a stupid question... but is it possible to go like half throttle down the track with one of those? so maybe you can take it easy before you go all out

i wouldnt go half throttle, but i would make license type runs where its just the launch at first and then gradually work up to a full pass

haha I saw that car in the pits on sunday.
I remember drivng past it after making a pass and seeing the tail lights and thinking wow thats one hell of a modded lt1 :lol:
When I finally parked my car and was looking at it I was walking around with my jaw dropped. Everything about that car is amazing. I remember the belt for the blower was wider than my hand!

im pretty sure id be able to handle the car, and i know that actual driving is required in pro mods more often than not, im worried about newb type mistakes though.. oiled slicks at that speed would suck!

Wouldn't you need to make license passes anyway before running it? Maybe my memory is failing, but I didn't think you were currently licensed to go that fast....
