And the obvious question is ... what's she run? Is that one of the 10.5 tire "street" cars?
Well so far (as in last season) we ran 7.40`s @ 197 with a 358 cube single turbo on radial tires.....weighing in at 3200 lbs...However this year we are running a twin turbo 480 cube alcohol set up with a 31x10.5w slick........and we only have to weigh around 2800lbs so if all goes well were looking into the mid 6`s @ over 225mph

Is this the same Nick who used to have a full-tube '70(ish) Dodge Dart "street" car and worked for the gov't in the "weights and measures" division on Leslie st in Toronto (years back)? I think we crossed paths at Don Phoenix's chassis shop a long time ago. I thought his specialty (in recent years) was LS based engines ... is he abondoning them for big blocks now (assuming the 480 cube isn't LS based)?
If I remember right and this is the same guy, his Dart had just been painted (green?) and he had it parked in his fathers garage ... well sure enough, pops was in the garage one day and knocked something off the wall (lawn chair?) and it landed on the freshly painted Dart.

Saw pics of the Alan Johnson stuff over on the osca board looks good .Cecil County rules should make a pretty level playing field in 10.5 racing . How many nos cars will run in this class? I think you will need to run 4.50's to get in and 4.30's/20's to win . Btw how big are the turbos on this new combo?
There is 15 pre registered already, not suge how many NOS cars but there is a few, we went 4.60`s @ almost 165mph peddeling it from 400ft already down at Shakedown with the 358 and a single turbo weighing 3225lbs.....91mm for the twins we have the weight figured out, we can get down to weight with out any issues...with the 4 Races up here ( including the two big ones Nitro Nationals and Canadian Street Car Shoot Out) and a few South it`s going to be blast...
Here`s the link to the web site www.outlaw10five.com Im still working on the site as we go....so things usually get added weekly...
