2319, few pics of sheps car at maryland nopi show
Posted by 2g99RSNC, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM


i've got more pics i've just got to find them he switched to a different class this year and he doesnt really stand a chance in it but i guess he can win more money in it
he did pretty good made it to the finals but still lost by over 1sec even with one of his best runs of the day. no one stands a chance against the other guy he just slaughters everyone.
hopefully he can find some more power but i dought unless the other guy breaks he will beable to beat him.

also there were to 2 1g's in the 2 power adder class running in the 10's the 1g would have prob won it all but broke after running a 10.05 run. also these cars in this class are street cars

fully built, gt70 turbo, and F.A.S.T standalone what more do i need to say

It makes sense that he switched classes since he was completely dominating the last one. Now he has some work ahead of him to be able to compete. I am assuming he is the only AWD car in the new class?

Shep is running a completely new Setup and is working out the bugs with this new system. Give it some time and see what happens. He already broke his fastest trap that day at 170mph. His clutch was slipping real bad he couldn't remedy it in time. I am sure once he gets all the bugs worked out, he will be alot more competitive.

yeah i hope he can get it going faster but still he does have a full frame car compared to gary's but it will just take time. he did change the clutch out before the finals though i seen them working on it

the main place he was loosing was off the line but still with his problems he still made it to the finals as u said its just going to take some time to get everything right

yeah he went from street disc to 6 puck....and it was still slipping.

GT70? I thought he was running a GT42R....well that is what he told me.

Shep has also never launched his car hard. If he did that he would tear the unibody off the wheels :)

He was running 8's with 1.4 60' times. Unheard of.
