This is the ultimate sleeper Nova that Wheel to Wheel built and drove on Power Tour. http://www.lateral-g.org/temp/joenova.wmv

LOL, I love it. Kurt, what's the dealio on that? What did it lay down on the W2W chassis dyno?

So, what did it run?

**XcYZ** · #6 06-16-2006, 09:27 AM

I have another video of it that I'll be getting online later, he ran 10.01 at 141.8. Talk about a sleeper.

Jesus!......Does that thing have XT wheels and DD caps?...tracks remarkably straight....I can't imagine how fast that thing would be with decent traction...makes for a great show though...just look at the guys in the crowd! I love it

Wow, that is cool.

somebody cross-bred an old slingshot dragster with a nova!

It was pretty funny. At Englishtown while Kurt and Joe Nova were sitting in the staging lanes a track official came up to check that it had been thru tech. He laughed and commented on how non track worthy it looked from a distance. I think it is certified to run 8's. Maybe Kurt can chime in.

The car is certified to 8.50, with all needed safety items.
Gainsville was the best tech I have ever done. I rolled in and seen the "tech" signs pointing to top end return road area. I drive down and they hand me a tech card that I fill out and sign. The tech guy walks up, looks at the car and writes a 19 on the windshield and side glass, tells me to have fun. He also says the starter will help me stage when I get up by the line. I make my first pass, 10.19@141mph. As soon as I stop in the pits, a 4 wheeler and a spree pull up with track officials on board. They say I need to return to tech with my car, and DON'T run anymore. I return to tech with the car and a normal tech inspection under hood, trunk and undercar takes place, everything is legal. He then says I need a NHRA liscence to run my speed, I pull mine out and he just smiles, hands me my paperwork and says "nice car...kinda".
