Wish I could pull 1.2 60's!

41 mph from half track to the big end!! Thats huge! He ever win any races or just go out to see how fast he can go? Just wondering with the reaction time on that slip.

[KryptoSol]

Check out his 7.70@191mph onboard vid. http://www.shepracing.com/

Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BOOGEYMAN]

He is a pro......what class does he run in?? Even in the 7.70 pass he only cuts a .220 light??? Cant imagine you would make it past the first round with a light like that.......Atleast not at a divisional or national event.

He runs the heads up modified class for NHRA. Only a few of the people in that class run in the high 7's so he doesnt have much to worry about with R/T...yet

Haha... I'd like to know how much he has spent over the last decade getting to this point. I bet it is well over 100k.

[BOOGEYMAN]

I'd agree. He's got alot of sponsors though. It's probably close!

[rrussell]

I would say he probably has a lot more time then money, since he designs most of his parts or takes mitz OEM parts and modifies them.

Plus he makes a real nice income from all his R&D on his race car.

OMFG that is sooooo cool. wish I could drop a crap load of money into my talon.

[NitrousFedZC]
