SlowerThanYou Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks again guys for the thoughts & well wishes! I have a broken collar bone. Plus, a badly bruised ego/old man body & road rash to go along with it. Trying to get the motor in another chassis for Bakersfield, but depends on my Dr. appointments. Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Sucks to hear man. Hope everything works out Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 Here's the latest update with testing the new DMX motor. The motor is going into a 90" Black Label rigid chassis. The chassis is about 30 lbs. lighter than our stock frame. We will be running 84" RO 16 paddle 2 layer Kevlar staggered Rippers. This should make for some better times than our stock frame set-up.

coryv4 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 do you have pics of the wreck and the new chassis? Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 No the wrecked one & one action shot with a 535 in it. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 You will be faster in the rigid. Just fate slapping you in the face for trying to run to fast in a stock chassis with out additional modification. Don't get to fat sitting around and healing up. Best of luck. Quote
booxzzy Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 thats no good my friend,glad u r ok and still able to type,wish u quick recovery Quote

Just fate slapping you in the face for trying to run to fast in a stock chassis with out additional modification. Don't get to fat sitting around and healing up. Best of luck. The rigid is temporary. The motor is going back into the stock chassis. We have done mods to make this thing work & will continue to R&D the set-up. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Hmmm, you will fall in love and be like fuck a stocker! Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Posted March 20, 2013 No choice, NHRA requires a stock chassis. Quote
