That's my car...

Matt at Sled Alley is working on it and it is turning out very nice. The sheet metal work is top notch.

Yea know More Power, More Tires, More Brakes and Less Weight.......

I'll post a update later..:thumbsup: Working on getting Red Devil ready for SEAM and OUSCI. It is the '67 in the background being worked on at Sled Alley.

I changed the brakes out to Stop Techs. We rebalanced the caliper pistons in the calipers to better optimized brake balance. The brake feel is great and with a more reliable ABS set up my braking distances are coming down.

I sorted out my clutch issue that I was fighting at Heidts and LSFest. After some research there is a 0.065 restrictor in the clutch hyd. line.

I remember an old article Jeff Smith did and looked it up.

After that modification and a good brake bleed the trans / clutch are working great. It is a mix of OE and modified OE stuff. Working with 800 ft*lbs and trying to road race, drag race and street drive required a little sorting out.

The car ships today for “out West” for Pre-SEMA stuff then it will go straight to SEMA so this weekend was my last chance to tune on Red Devil prior to OUSCI. I think this year’s competition will be very tough. I added a bit more power, retuned the shocks, better ABS and rebalance brakes. I tweaked the areas I could for the event so now will have to wait until Nov. to see how it shakes out. :thumbsup:

I wish you'd have shipped it earlier --- I'll be in the Napa Valley this weekend -- and I'd have been happy to stop by Charley's, grab the car and put a few laps on it!! hahahahahahahahaha

I'm amazed you haven't bought a car to do these events yet. I think you'd have a ball. :yes:

I have a plan.....

Buy a place in the Napa Valley... and just have Charley bring a spare car to the events so I can drive it. He's good for the gas... entry fees... tires... clean up.

that's a pretty good plan, he'll loan you a car for an event or two. But then he expects you to buy your own, can you believe it?!!! :lol:

It's not going to Charley's it is going to So-Cal to be used in a Optima Battery commercial that will be filmed at Willow Springs. I'm flying out to drive it next week.
