Matt,

Thank you for the update. I will add my quicker, and faster passes, and also update this one with additional information soon.

Thanks again,
Marv

You're most welcome, Marv.

When you have five minutes, I'd also love to see some pictures, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You can upload pictures directly to the server at http://www.dragplace.com/vbimghost.php?do=upload
and insert them in your posts.

Here is one from last year during the weekend of our first six second 1/4 mile pass (6.998 @ 198.70 MPH)

We had the body work completely redone and a new paint job done before the beginning of the 2007 season. We ran our first 200 MPH pass and several 6.90s 1/4 mile passes this season, with a 4.49 1/8 mile E.T.

I'll post a couple pics from this season.

Our entry forms now claim 1990 Camaro IROC-Z (Z28) because our car had been upgraded with a '90 Hairy Glass nose.

For those of you that haven't seen the information on other websites here is a little more info:

My car was originally built as a Pro Stock car in 1988 by Lou Zufall of Zufall Race Cars, then it was raced in quick bracket races, and Quick 32s, and then I bought it in 2001 and updated it for competition in Top Sportsman. I raced it in the Super Comp and Quick Rod 8.90 classes for one season before upgrading it again for Top Sportsman. When the 25-1 E Certification came out we had the chassis upgraded to this specification and a few years ago we had an anti-roll installed.

Thanks for the details and the pictures, Marv. Very impressive!

I just made the thread sticky so that it stays on top of this section
