Default I did it finally

As you all may know I have been fighting the odds to get a 5th gen Accord into the 13s with an all motor setup.

Well yesterday at Woodburn Raceway in Woodburn Oregon I did it.

13.956 @ 96.61 mph

I dedicate that run to my mother who before she passed she told me that if I was going to build a car that it would be a waste if it didn't at least break 13s.......thanks mom I know you were watching.

I also have to give props to the guys over at DragTec fo rputting in the work on the engine and making the thing solid for me and also putting up with some rather stupid questions at times...Thanks Casey, Andy, Brad, and Sani.

Anyways heres the vid of the run....its low res video from a camera but its me in the left lane (Vid thanks to Jake aka Twisted at www.leftcoastcustoms.com ) Video

Thanks

Next project is "Project Lothar" which is a 92-95 Civic Si I just bought that will get the engine out of my Accord as well as full tube frame, one piece front, all Lexan windows etc.

I should be well into this project by the beginning of winter and it will also be an all motor project.
