That's good to know Rodger. It will be nice when he can get it back in the car and have all of the confidence in it staying together.

Yep, Rodger is right on the money. I'm impressed with Jason Pettis and his attention to detail and looking forward to speaking with Jim Watkins over at Watkins Engine Development in Bakersfield next week. I'll seal a deal with one of them in the next 2 weeks.

Some of Jason Pettis's works, the black mustang that destroys the trans pan.


I would say either guys will be do just fine.

Drifting a Trophy Truck on blactop sure looks like a good time!

And that silver ChevyII was getting some serious hang time under those front wheels.

Cool videos Rodger, thanks!

I've reached a deal with Pettis Performance in Hesperia, CA. www.pettisperformance.com They have been around since 1975 and it's a Father/Son operation. Everyone has said great things about them. I'm headed down Thursday to drop off some parts and write him a check. I'm pretty damn excited about it!

Oh man!! You need to understand Todd. This waiting is almost painfull. Like a 6 year old window shopping at Toys R Us.


I know it will be good. There are very few cars on here that I have followed as close as yours. When something is going on with one of them I go nuts and want all the details. Yours, Karma and a couple others. I just gotta know!!!

Greg, you are not helping me here.....
