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

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

Cert for 8.50...run .50's all day long....then let her eat on the last pass of the day.

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.

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.
