That car belongs to our GREAT friends George and Gail Wright.
They did it ALL at home by themselves.
They race the IHRA circuit with us.
George and Gail are as much FoMoCo as any of us.
George has several interesting FoMoCo race cars.

Alex,

George is VERY tallented too.

There's a lot of good info in thier website about all phases of building a racecar. Looks like he put together a winner.
There are even pics taken at your US Class Nationals.

Going testing tonight, I may call for some tips from the track. Ok?

Alex,

I didn't have to bother you, it 60'd 1.45s all night on the "wed. night" track. Car ran consistant 10.78-10.80 with mufflers. We'll drop the exhaust and pick up 3mph this Saturday. Thanks again for your personal help!
