update...
I finally finished the car October 13th but couldn't get it to start so I didn't make the import alliance race. (a wiring issue in a harness)was the culprit.
I had Anthony Peck from FTP set me up a "driveway" tune just to break it in. well after about an hour of run time on the engine, I switch out the break in oil.
most tracks were closed, or would be closed when I would have time available to go test.
BUT I got lucky, my brother told me about a TNT on November the 14th at Brainerd Optimist. (November 14 just happened to be the day last year that I ran my first 9 second quarter).
....And now the best part, first pass off the trailer...5.68@123 MPH!  :) :D I was super stoked!
the next pass was a 5.67 @ 123! Chris videoed and posted this run on FB.
I can't wait to get this thing Dynoed and get some 1/4 mile passes in! :)

No,
Old set up with me was 3100
But I’ve lost 25 lbs, and I’ve taken a little weight out of the car, but I added some too. Plan to weight it in the spring Beech Bend has digital scales.

wow!
can't believe it's been so long. :o
anyway,
car has gone as quick as 5.59 at 126 in the 1/8 and 9.11 at 152 in the 1/4 (SCT bowling green)
planning some weight reducing and a little top end freshening for the '19 season.

Optic Armor 3/16 windshield
Safety bars in the door removed (Zac Brown thread)
Carbon fiber driveshaft (either DSS or QA1)
I've lost 40 pounds-30 as of the end of the season

car weighed 3020 with me in it, crossing the scale at Beech Bend w 1/4 tank of fuel.
