What are the mods on that Lingenfelter? Strong machine

Does anyone have more vids from BG? I have expected to see much more.

Bob,
The car is equipped with an Edelbrock TVS 2300 Supercharger, it has an LPE cam, no head port work. Made 645 rwhp in that spec, it is fueled soley by the DI system. Our main issue at BG was NO TRACTION, having to short shift every gear, no powershift and lots of tire spin, looking at the data log never got to wot until about half way through each gear, trying to control spin.

I have a few from the drag strip and a couple from the autocross. I'll get them posted up on youtube as soon as I can. If you subscribe to my channel you will get a notification when I get them up.

Yup, that beast needs some serious drag tires, not those big wheels and rubber bands.

BTW, is the new track at the museum going to have a drag strip facility? I haven't seen any mention of one on the NCM site.

The motorsports complex, at the NCM, will eventually have a dragstrip, but the road course and autocross area will be some of the first elements completed.

Joe,

On the tour I was on I asked that specific question. The answer was no drags trip due to maintenance and a congenial relationship w Beech Bend.
Didn't make business sense I was told.

Then maybe the relationship has gotten better. At a recent board meeting, we did have a discussion about the "business sense" part of the equation, but I thought it was still going to be a go in the distant future. I do recall that it would be one of the last elements to go in. Maybe the hope is to solidify the relationship with Beech Bend. It doesn't make sense to have two dragstrips within five miles of each other.

You can never have enough dragstrips!
