I would like to eventually have one car in every class. Possible two in the street stock. But that's down the road.

Ted.
 
Wow, nice. It's looks like a combination of technology and art.
Is that a Monokote top and clear coat sides?
 
Looks Good! Looking forward to seeing it run this month.

Thanks.

The top is covered with adhesive monokote trim. The sides and bottom I left raw, no clear coat. Solid sugar pine body.
 
Just a note. I have a bunch of those wheels, from Derby Worx in my case. They never ran as fast as JE's wheels back a couple of years, and those from John are even faster on the same car. JUST IMHO. My own opinion is that the holes screw up the air flow, even though they are lighter. In bicycle racing, they also use non spoke rear wheels and front wheels with a lot of fewer spokes in the shorter speed events.

Someone tell me if I am wrong
 
Great looking car! This is my most favorite class. I've got a new one for this race also but it will have a tuning board tune, so I'm not going to expect to much out of it.

So let me guess Joel, you are only expecting around a 2.8990. LOL

If you have the time, please post a couple of pictures of your new Eliminator. I would love to see it.
 
Johns eliminator wheels have been out of stock. When they are available again I will surely pick up a set. As well as some super stock wheels. And maybe some bearing wheels.

All my cars are dinner table tuned. LOL. So my cars are probably not going to be as fast as they could be. I need a track. Or a buddy with a track.
 
I hav'nt commented on a car in a long time. This car looks sharp. I like the Black/Silver!
 
Thanks for all the compliments. I am happy with how it turned out. My cleanest build to date and getting more efficient and better each time. I hope it rolls as good as it looks. Those wheels and axles were prepped with graphite for a BSA outlaw pack race. Then I cleaned and re worked them with oil for mid america. Will see how they do. Is john not making eliminator wheels anymore?
