Good Years or Phoniex?
Hi Rick
A doctor in Seattle built it. It was supose to have a Bucky Austin blown Hemi in it, and be a 'A' gas car.He got into finacial troubles with it, so he sold it.
It changed hands a few times, each person did a liitle more, tin work etc.The last guy finished it.Got his lis. went 9 rounds won the race, and pulled the motor.My friend bought it, I bought it from him, cleaned a few things up, put my bullet in it,and won the 1st Pro Gas race with it.It was a total winner.It left like a pro stocker.
It was a little tight inside, and I was little claustrophobic in it. I had it 3 years, took it south to Speedworld and Firebird in Az. for a winter.Made a lot of money with it.
It was a Chris Alston chassis,aluminum 9' etc.lots of dough in it. I bought it for $9,000.00 as a roller w/ complete JW gide/converter, so it was a steal, sold it $13,000.00 as a roller without the JW glide it came with.So I was happy.
My plan was to run Top sportsman at the time, because cars were running low 8's high 7's, so it would not taken much motor ( 2200 lbs).I had a bad *** 600 something inch indy motor linned up, then I just got burnt out on all of all the cert's and costs running super classes, so I decided to step back to the 10's. The Valiant turned up on ebay, I got a deal. I am really havin fun with it.
Yup, my theroy is, you can't put a big enough tire on a car running the Pro tree.
