Looks to be 'planted' pretty good, the tires are creasing! Exhaust cap wide open, must be barking pretty good!

I think this is where Mitch starts removing the pistons from the bottom. Don't see any pistons or oil here though

Curious why the ratchet strap around the battery box area? Funny set of weights. Massey on the nose and IH on the back axle with one looks like Case weight. AaronSEIA

white weight actually, about the battery, was that way when we bought it, also generator doesnt work so we charge the battery before every pull so its kind of nice. we use all kinds of weights, ih white massey daycon and even some others that i have no idea what they are. i am typing this as i am about to go off the grid with no communications until the 20th, maybe the 21st. havent seen plinko yet so maybe i will when i get back

A turd is better than DNF Mitch, even if there were only 3 in the pull.

There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

mitch the quote only says it takes time when you are doing it good and cheap. since you are the smartest guy here and the best engine builder in TN it should be no big deal at all. you can't even show us where the build stands.
blue... congrats for getting out there and pulling. I've wanted to do that for a long time, just never seem to be able to have the time and money at the same time to get one together
oh I thought of one more...Dumb Nearly Forever

From my post that you can't see because moderator or someone got their shorts in a wad, I guess Nimrod and Dimwit are bad words.

well at least i wasnt 100 foot behind the competiors i was 10 foot and 15 ft behind them, so basically my 10 foot behind them and third was 10 times BETTER than you being behind them 100 ft. on a more positive note, the video that i am still trying to get uploaded was 20 foot from a full pull, ohh pank a full pull means you go all the way and the winner had a full pull so... anyway still working on vids now that i am back, having compatibilty issues

13.6 goodyear, seem to sink down and bite really good, the other one is a beat up old goodrich tire, but luckily they are both 45 degree tires, once the power adjust rims get takin off and we put wider rims on it it will have 14.9 firestone field and roads. good luck to you also, one thing i have noticed is if you conter balance your weight, since the seat is to the right side it pulls a lot straighter, i can have my fronts off the ground the whole time and not have to touch the brakes to steer

Ohh I don't know, maybe getting beat by a rookie? Keep in mind when the announcer said well past 200 that we have a 250 foot track so the sled is geared accordingly. Well you have fun taking the pistons out of the bottom, I for one can say that I have got a podium finish every pull I have went to, how about you?
