After last years win and record breaking 7 second run at the PSCA finals, our '71 Nova with the monster 598ci big-block has gone through several changes, namely a 25.5 chassis upgrade. Since then, it's been an uphill battle trying to find that ever delicate balance of power, tire, and chassis sorting.
Last night at the WCHRA event in Bakersfield, CA, Artis Houston with crew chief Mike Saiki laid down a 8.11 at 175 mph pass on the 275 Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials! It's been a long time coming, but they made it happen. Now that we have the chassis figured out, its just a matter of time before we can get back to where we left off last year. For now, everyone is resting, but come 8 pm tonight, we'll be at it again and trying to make it through rounds. Wish us luck!
