Re: Blog of the building of a Challenger Drag Pak
On Nov 20th 2009, the Challenger DP #24 came home to New Hemi Racing in Barberton Ohio
On Saturday Feb 27th 2010 she made her maiden pass at Atlanta. Thanks to all here who have helped with your knowledge , resources, and suggestions. Thank you so very much. Everything went well, she ran perfect, we couldnt have hoped or dreamed for any better. No issues, no gremlins (that hadnt already been found) , Launched great, hard , straight, true, stopped like it should have, what a machine. Only 1 we ran behind time wise and after cage cert and tech, and scales and chassis setup, we were litteraly the last car allowed in the staging lanes, 13 hour day for 1 pass, and wed do it all over every day Lots of pics from today at Flickrhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/newhemiracing/sets/72157623523226962/ Thanks again everyone who helped, encouraged, and wished us well. Thank you. Edit....and of course the shamless plug for the blog site in case anyone has been living under a large toadstool http://newhemiracing.blogspot.com/ Not that the car is done, known only to a few people this is not my first car, by any stretch, but it has been a long time, I stopped because of 1 reason, a CAR can never be "done", wherea with my bikes they can be, I can step back and say "Perfect" ill never change a thing, but a car as you all know isnt like that, (at least none of mine have) there is always a tweak or change or whatever. But for TODAY shes done .... Quote:

Re: Blog of the building of a Challenger Drag Pak
Thanks Jerry, best of all the wrap was FREE !
Cheap works in my book....lol... But it beats my "alternative" scheme, all white with BIG black letters that just said "CAR" on it.....I think I can get those at Kinkos...lol. (Ok so it wasnt plan B, just a "Temporary" plan B...., the real plan B involved House of Kolors Kandies and flake and me swearing for the next month while I put it on....) |
