Congrats on getting it to the Challenge and completing all  the stages, quite an accomplishment for a car that had not even run on the street until the week of the challenge! Been quite an adventure and a really cool car!

You know you're going to have to give a detailed write-up of the last couple of weeks right? As well as your challenge experience. I'd love to hear it all from your perspective. And to hear what your thoughts are after you have a time to process them.

Editor's Choice is a great award.  It says, "numbers aside, they (the people in charge) like what I'm doing!"

Well deserved!

 

I too won Editor's Choice in 2015 for winning and formulating the Aristocrats Class.

The Monzora winning editor's choice feels like a nice little cherry on top to this whole weekend. Glad my piss poor vinyl laying skills fooled the judges XD.

Here's to 2024, AC.

Technicalities? Did he not give her all the onions?!

I cannot in good conscience take your money if he didnt properly stress test them with a massive john force burnout followed by a 5K RPM clutch side step on hoosiers

Rumor is he only did a couple of passes and not naming names but John Brown says that he didn't give it all the onions.

No broken axles, but I didn't get to go all "12's or bust" on them either. Onion delivery problems limited me to a 15.6 @ 92. Will develop over the Summer and Fall, and be back in April for another run at it.
