2010 recap..
Two thousand ten's goals with the Z were met with a little bitter sweet finale.
Previous outings earlier in the year fell short of my performance expectations. I had made several
changes over the winter hoping to help street drive-ability and still make good power. Early June
Dyno tests showed that I may have made some wrong decisions. Horse power numbers were a
couple of hundred lower than I expected at only 760 to the rear wheels, and a week later with 9.30
time slips at the track confirmed it. read more

2011 plans..
DRAGWEEK!!
September 12th through the 16th.
Have lots to do to get ready..
My brother Ken and I are going to join the crazy dudes that drive their hot rods over a 1000 miles and
5 drag strips to compete and see who has the fastest ride. There are a few different classes from all
out unlimited to daily drivers. We will be in pro-street. We cannot tow the car what so ever. It has to
be driven from track to track, and if repairs are needed, there cannot be anyone from outside the
competition that can assist. Our route will start in Topeka Kansas. Then go to Great Bend Kansas.
On day three we are to be in Amarillo Texas. A long haul from GB. On day four we are at Tulsa
International raceway. And finishing up on Friday day 5 we return to Topeka. Should be a crazy fun
week! more info to come.
