Talkin about Rich K., I have several videos of him at Bristol in 02, incredible is all I can say. I have watched them over and over, he does make it look easy, car runs straight and clean almost everytime. As for myself, once I get past 1-2 shift, my car is almost always feeling like it's on a sunday cruise. Stability has not been an issue at up to the 153 mph I've been. I believe the new suspension parts available today have added to the impression of "making it look easy". I will tell you the launch and getting into 1st gear can be a handful at times, after that...... hang on for the rest of the ride.

Tony purchased the TA block so it looks like Bobby from RPE will be building it in the near future. I can't wait to talk with him as I consider him one of the top engine builders in the country. No doubt Tony aspires to push this motor to the limits.

Here's a nice vid of Richie's car.......

http://www.sydwyndr.com/videos/kibler.wmv

Keep in mind his car is now faster running 5.19 @140mph in the 1/8th on true 28 X 10.5's (he set the record in his class and was the 2003 Champion) and he has run 5.08 @144mph in the 1/8th on 31 X 10.5W's..... In the 1/4 his car would easily run 7.90's to 7.80's!

Alan Witters silver T is for sale, it is probably THE premier 10" tire Buick in the country. He was running 8.50s at almost 170 about 4 years ago. It can be had for a FRACTION of what it cost to build.Shoot me an email if anyone is seriously interested.
Thanks for pushing the block Jack.
