Looks like the same location as in my car...and it's 10" back. Now that I put the small tires on...I want to bring the motor back up to get some weight over the front tires. Hope he has a good set of wheelie bars on it.

Maybe you would if your car would start instead of putting on an early fireworks display in the water box Saturday.

Is Fulton planning on running the quick 16 this weekend in Brainerd or is he planning on going to the Open Unlimited Test Day 9am-3pm, Gates Open 8am &
NITE Drags Time Trials 4pm at Grove Creek on July 25th?

I wish him and Lil Jack luck wherever they race before Norwalk

If you do, we expect to see his times posted. If not, expect a Freedom of Information request.
