I'm working with my uncle on some long term sponsor deals and will know for sure next week, but this is what I'm looking at very seriously right now as my new 'mustang'...
Some more... I'm looking right now at setting up for PSCA Outlaw 10.5 fro next season and then upping the program to NHRA Pro Stock the following season. 9's are a PIA on a street car so figure I'll jump right into the 6's...lol
The car is currently owned by Cale Aronson and it is a Skinny Kid built car. It has a Jon Kaase Racing Engines 698 cubic inch engine. If I get the car, I will be going with a family powerplant built by Jack O'Bannon Racing.
What happened to the GT500 idea? Also, are you still planning on running THE BEAST again and trying to get 8's? I wanna see a 1/4 video of it going all out.

I decided against a GT500. I'm not even trying for an 8 with the current chevykiller. Too much of a PIA to be that quick with a street car and I can jump right into the 6's with this monster...[8D]
Don't worry though, I'm still going to get some 1/4 mile slips/vids on the sonic beast before she goes...[8D] I'm still expecting to be healthy in the 9's on a daily driver platform.
I'm just excited at the prospect of 'doing it for real'...
Another thing, is it not allowed to run a blower on that car? Or does the Pro Stock rules say you can't?
I'd love to see the new 4.5L whipple on that thing.
No blowers in pro stock. N/A 500 inch programs.
However, in Outlaw 10.5 you can run power adder. if I get the car, I'll want the experience of mid 6's - so I'll probably run juice on the big block. The mechanics and chief have the task of figuring out how to make it stay in the mid 6's all motor - I just want to drive it![8D]
that looks, and sounds badazz!!!
i guess this is just another chapter in the life of the CK. sounds like it's something that has you excited, and that's what everyone needs.
whereone journey ends, a new one begins.

Thanks - yep it's definitely not for sure and still up in the air. Sadly, there's a lot more factors involved than just my 'wanting' it...lol
All I can do is hope at this point...
truth is it's really up to convincing my uncle to get involved in a pro stock program. He's so deep in TAFC right now and he's looking to have a 2 car team in top fuel FC by 2010, don't know if he'll even want the extra headaches. All I can do is try cause there's no way I can do this kind of program without his help.
