^ With the engine all the way back there, how much fine tuning does it take for front end ballast, or do you even have to use much (with the driver position and all)?

We don't run any ballast, but we can move weight from the back, to front if needed. Got a little video clip of the car minus the body, leaving a fundraiser, heading to the trailer. That is 25% Nitro in the tank !!

That's still an impressive run!!
We know why dragsters went rear engine, but I never understood why funny cars stayed with the old configuration.

I got burned in a front engine car, I like to go fast, but didn't want to get burned again, so I built this car !! Here is video from quarter mile track in Bradenton, FL. The second pass in this video, was the first time I got the car went over 150 MPH !!

New motor is completed, first fire-up was Friday 12-22-18 at our new Sponsor's shop (P&G Customs) it was a huge success !! I'm the guy in the flannel shirt... Watch me coach a newbie !! He was still shaking a 1/2 hour after he climbed out, LOL !! Even tried out the new Flamethrowers on 2nd start up. 2019 Season looks to be the most exciting one yet, the quest to get into the 4's continues, and this new motor is a huge part of that !!

The debut of our new Sponsor >> P&G Customs was a huge success !! We fired it up on 25% Nitro at their Open House / Carshow !! We won loudest exhaust award, as well as best in show !! My buddy Dave Cobb w/ the Willys Gasser pitted next to us, had fun hanging out and bench racing w/ him !!

LOL, I moved to Largo, FL in 1973 when I was 16. My first car was a Corvair until the engine fell out while I was driving it.
Seriously, not making this up. I wonder what the chances are that is where that body came from.
But it looks really cool and I love the color.
