1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Build

Took the 55 Q/SA to the Indy LODS over the weekend for it's first outing of the year. The air conditions were not that favorable, but the car did run nearly 2 tenths under in the 3700 corrected altitude.Qualified at around the 70th car in the 80 car field with a 13.61 95.mph on the 13.80 index. I got my #2 WCFB back from Dean Oliver but didn't have a chance to run it as the rain limited us to 2 qualifiers and we started eliminations on Saturday. Car is real consistent as all the numbers in the first half of the track were within a few thousands of each other on the first 3 runs. First round I had a FS/G Mustang dialed in at 10.57. I had a .005 reaction time and held him off for the win. My second round opponent hung a .023 package on me and put me in the trailer. The 55 is fun to drive and I enjoy talking to all the people who come up to check it out. Thanks to Randy Snyder for the pictures, and sending us the video.
