I believe Bryant said they are making exhibition passes and maybe some grudge racing.

This is correct, since they did not attend any previous races they of course cannot compete for the title

Hopefully things will be different next year :tree::rockwoot:

...just curious if everything was on schedule? My son and I were thinking about flying down for the finals. Did the Thia boys switch to chrome moly?

With this kind of effort, and the unusual circumstances, surely these fellas will be permitted to compete in the pro stock class???? Really, in what lifetime would something like this ever happen again????

Keeping it MS, I spoke with the DIV 4 Chassis inspector in Dallas and we will see what we can do for cert, this might mean an 8.50 cert so they will have to watch tuning and NOS to keep it slower than that.

I'm trying to develop this into racing next year, multiple trucks the years after that and maybe even a sanctioned event in thailand in the next 7-10 years or so.

I hope for it to be a long term plan
 
It's looking good. Like a Scott said and I may have missed it either here or another thread but what is the expected travel time and have y'all ever dealt with bringing a vehicle thru customs? I've always heard its a pain. Just curious because its less than a month away now.
 
18hr flight time 24-48 hrs to clear customs according to the broker


Chassis is complete and painted, will be fully assembled and test passes made this week.

Hopefully it's different for y'all at customs.

We waited on a crate of tractor parts from Germany in the port of Houston for 2 weeks!
 
I have a guy ordering parts from Thailand that sat in customs for a little over 2 weeks from them picking at everything

The difference being the car isn't staying. From what I understand it speeds the customs process up considerably if it's only in country for a period of time rather than permanently.

Go to the NHRA web site, upper right to LUCAS OIL and then divisions and you want D4 and that will give you all the inspectors in D4. Just understand that looking at pics is no gaurentee that it will pass, but with what I see unless the inspector finds something it looks good.

Thanks, he mentioned that he knew plenty of chassis builders in the area that could help if something didn't match up.

He also mentioned most likely getting the car an 8.50 cert if it wouldn't pass faster.
