TSP Owner Jim Weise. Pretty much the chief cook and bottle washer at TSP. Together with Mike, Jim is responsible for just about everything else on this car, from design, parts selection, driveline building, welding ect. This car was built completely in house, with only the engine machine work sublet.
Currently, the car is in it's initial testing phase. The very first time this car went down the dragstrip, it tripped the clocks at 10.02 at 125 mph, on a 900 ft pass, with a 60' time of 1.30. All other passes netted 9.50's at 138 mph, but the "fat lady" has not sung yet as to the performance of this car.
She's just warming up...
Stay tuned for updates and action pictures.
