Enjoy these pictures of my V8 Dodge Avenger project.

Raced the Avenger a couple times late in the season at Byron Dragway. First trip back in September I red lighted (left too soon) and was out in the first round. I had much better luck at the last race (Race #9 - Street Class) of year. I won the first two rounds, and then once again went out on a red light. Here is a video of the 5 passes I made that day (Oct 12th). http://overlandconcepts.com/byron2008_Race9.wmv (25MB). My last pass was a 12.93 second run!

Here are some videos at Great Lakes Dragaway after installing the 385 Chevy Stroker. I still have much tuning to do before it is running full strength. I also have to deal with the traction problem off the line.
First video is of me running against my friends 1988 mustang. It was his first run after installing NOS and hit a 100 shot about half track. I got my best time for the day at 13.19

Second run against my friends mustang, he ran the NOS starting off the line. I get the avenger going over 109mph!

One of my favorite runs, only to be tarnished by smoke from oil that got on the exhaust when my PCV valve came out of the valve cover. Smoke or not, I shut down that 2003 Nissan 350Z!
