Mike "Pony" does some real interesting work.
Along with adjusting his front wheels closer to the track, he also looks like he could of used some of my new plated wire.

I didn't have much time to check out all the cool cars at the Vintage Tech Hunter filming yesterday, but this one, from Mike Poniatowski, caught my eye, with it's unique elephant ears.

pretty cool drag car! I want to build something like that. I think the maximum e. t. around here is 17.99. all that waiting for the other guy ( "8.50" or whatever ) will cause some red lights. honeydo list today though. oh, well.

Having built cars run in the Vintage drag proxy races in Florida, the old car ETs are a max of about 3 seconds with hotter cars well under 2 seconds on 16 or lower volts. My 8volt Kemtron does a full wheel stand on 16 volts very nicely.
