Calverts Thunderbolt
 
Any one have any info on his new ride?

Unless someone gets some spy shots of testing we most likely wont see it till the Winter's
What are the odds of him winning 2 years in a row with a new car !?

I would say that the odds are very good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'd like to know more about this car as well. T-Bolts are cool and Calvert knows how to go fast. As for winning with another "new" car. I doubt he'll have the luck he did last year, but I always like to see a Ford do well.

On the Winternationals entry list, John Calvert is entered in AA/S with his new T-bolt. Here is the link to the entry lists - http://www.nhraeventreg.com/ListEventStatus.asp.

I wouldn't be surprised to see John win another Winter Nationals, the Boy is a natural with a stick and is good on the tree. Knowing John car will be race ready when it hits the track.

Good Luck John, get one for the Ford Team

There is a SCEDA race with S&SS combo race at Fontana drag
strip this coming weekend, possibly he will bring out the new car
and test then. Last year he had the new race mustang he won
Pomona with out at this same race. We can hope.

Re: Calverts Thunderbolt

Jody

I was told by a reliable source last nite that the T-Bolt hadn't arrived at that time, so maybe we will hear about info of it today!!

Re: Calverts Thunderbolt
 
Hopefully we will see it today. I'm sure it will be impressive when we see it!

Re: Calverts Thunderbolt

Front of the wheel well looks funny like they bent it out. Wonder if the orig. traction bars are still connected?

Are they required to be on the car in stock?

Rusty Gillis 02-05-2010 07:44 PM
Re: Calverts Thunderbolt
 
You can run any bolt on traction bar in stock

Barnstorm 02-05-2010 07:46 PM
Re: Calverts Thunderbolt
 
Greg Raucher is building one herein Div 5. Tech told him they cant be adjustable. Blair Patrick power also. We hope he puts the Tbolt graphics on!

I thought you had to have a Lucas Oil decal on your car to race? Tom
