Now we're talking...all present and accounted for!

Nothing quite like a B'ville sunset...

...but this is really what we're waiting to see!! Final tech, then time to get down to business!

More to come, as I get pics & updates...

Yeah, the truck is running & driving great. Especially considering it's not a "race" build, and the 120 MPH were clocked running through Tim's modified truck heads (and mufflers). Swapped heads, intake, & open headers and ran a 127 a few minutes ago

I'll let Tim give the full narrative when he gets back, but for now, how about an awesome picture?

I was one for leaving it as a "barn find" paint, but after seeing it on the salt I would say that would have been a mistake. Truck looks awsome!

Tim/Todd,

Thanks for the updates and awesome photos.  Sounds like things are going good or better than planned.  I look foward to the details.  Oh and Todd, if you ever decide to part ways with the Starliner count me as first in line to give it a great new home!

First I want to say how much fun I had at Speed week this year, didn't quite make the goal of 130 but I had a blast anyway.  Met a few of the Ys guys from this forum out there and it was grand meeting you all, sorry I didn't have much time in the pits but we were always thrashing to get something done.  Next time come talk to me in line I seem to have a little more time to chat if the staging lanes are full. Thanks Mike for the pins, that was great!

As most of you have heard by now the truck ran good and tracked VERY strait, thanks to Todd for some great suspension work. the speed felt great even if it was a little off from what I wanted, but you know no matter how fast we go we always want more.  Keep an eye out I think we are in for some good runs at Elmo this fall.

Todd, I'm sorry but I have to correct you in your post.  That is a sunrise not a sunset and we were not all present and accounted for, you needed to be there.

Sweet! Video soon??

This question makes me a little mad as I had ordered a camera mount for the truck, they sent the wrong item, drug their feet sending me the right item, never got it and Charlie couldn't find the one he used in the "Brick".  So very little footage and NO in cab footage.  I will have a mount welded to the cage for the future but nothing this time.  Sorry.

moving to tech inspection.

going over him with a fine tooth comb, three issues were found that were easly fixed. Not too bad for a new car.

Tim, that was a Great and Awesome Job with the Y in your Beautiful truck. Congratulations.

-Gary Burnette-

I was curious just for my future knowledge what were the three small items tech got you for? I also wanted to say congrats on what i defiantly view as a amazingly successful speed week. The truck came together beautifully and the performance was equally as impressive. Looking forward to your next accomplishments. Thanks Sam Gable
