What's in your backseat ?? 😁
For me it's a 496" BBC, soon to be upgraded to a 572" !! We have one last event planned for this engine, which will also fulfill our Contract with Southern Bank. I know it's been kind of quiet, but things are slowly moving along, behind the scenes !! 😎

Here's a little warm-up footage from Bonne Terre !! Getting a little heat in the motor, before we take on TOJO Racing 😎

Warming up the BackMotor RE/FC before we squared off w/ Tonya Johnson of TOJO Racing !!

I'm home, and still in one piece !! 😁
We towed the BackMotor RE/FC to Bonne Terre Drag Strip and squared off against Tonya Johnson in a best 2-out-of-3 Match Race, as part of the Autos 4 Autism 🧩 9th Annual Drag Race! 🔥 !! I saw her test pass, and she was quicker than us. Knew I'd have to leave on her, to stand a chance !! Pushed the tree a bit too much, and I had a .02 & .08 Redlight !! She caught me both runs, before the finishline anyway, and took the bragging rights !! We saw lots of old Friends, and met new fans, who had never seen our car !! We had a great time !! Thanks to everyone involved in the Fundraiser, and we hope you met all your goals 😎

Big changes at BackMotor Racing... 😎
The RacingJunk.com ad will be allowed to expire, neither offer was worth giving up on my dream. The Fundrazr will be shut down soon, as it was Only created at the request of 6 fans who wished to donate, when the last guy gets his PayPal to work, it will end. Thank You to the 5 who said they'd help, and then did !! Notice we did Not use GoFundMe as that is for medical or emergencies, Fundrazr is for School Teams, Bowling Teams, Crowd Source Funding, etc, as there are legal and ethical concerns. Last, but not least, Please welcome our new Marketing Partner >> Southern Bank whose Commercial Dept looked at our Team's 25 year History, and said "so you have a gap in funding, we can help you with that !!" A handshake, some new decals going on the hood, and we are still in Business !! Thank You all for your Kind Words, I was pretty unhappy when I thought I'd have to sell my Dream... 🥹

I'm not really good at this kind of stuff, but, neither me, or my crewguys want to stop racing... If fact, they encouraged me to try "any means possible to keep going" and the subject of Crowd Funding came up. Since our only real problems are financial, and there is light at the end of the tunnel, as our case moves thru the legal system. We have no way to change their time frame, so we try to adapt to the delays as best we can !!
Here is the link to the Crowd Funding page that we set up, we are poised to make a big splash, to see the dream thru, and get that 4 second run !! Still got it in me, only $$$ is the issue... Thanks for reading🥰
