My 08 dodge Challenger / Superbird


Recommended Posts

Here is the page from the December 2016 issue of Mopar Action with GE's car on it. It is a story about drag racing's 25th anniversary at Rockingham NC. Other than the picture, GE is not mentioned in the article.

Harder to get a hold of him than Batman.

At least Batman had Alfred to take messages for him.

Well, I did see the GE light in the sky. I had to put it on hold tho. Been racing alot and working way too much. I'm finally back on a regular 8 hour day schedule and really been wondering what the heck is that bright light in the sky! Well, some person I want say his name Frosty said it was the sun!! Not sure on that since sunlight does strange things to a snowman !!! Anyhoo, yeah I put new tranny in car along with one of my standby engines which is bigger than the last motor that was in the car. Traded the old P1 supercharger from the show back to procharger and for a much bigger one an F1. So, boost is way up there now along with compression and hp and that thing which kills your back when you hit the wild pedal called Torque lol !!  

I finished with the cars new build about 8 hours before the race at charlotte. The car with it's new motor and trans only had dyno time on it with no miles on it. So, I only had 20 miles one the car when I reached the track for racing. What a way to shake down a car huh !! I did have some over heating issues with the car from 215 up to 275 degrees. could not clear the issue at the track. But, I raced it anyway while keeping a very close eye on temp. I only did about 3 laps per session due to heat issues. Just for the problem to finally clear itself just a few days afterwards. I turned out to be a trapped air pocket that would not clear even after burping the motor and coolant system multiple times. It was actually funny. I was going down the road when I heard like a balloon pop which was the air pocket finally releasing and temp went from 215 down to 175. 

This car on both days of racing kicked so hard it actually made my back and neck sore just from getting on the gas. Yes, I was strapped in tight with harness and with hans device on.

Okay, the above pics cool !! Some pics show my head light doors open to try to cool the car down some. Now, on the part with me in front of the vette. I was not trying to boil the tires the car was getting loads of traction but, it did boil the tires. granted it was a very hot day but, I was hot on the gas and smoked the tires a good long ways. Not intentional tho!!  Now, on another shot I was on the throttle hard coming thru a turn and did some more smoking. Others where in the infield road course and main track. 

Now the below pics are of my wing. Now, we all know the Air Force emblem but, can ya tell me just what the numbers mean?? Also, for kicks and giggles I put an ACME sticker with wile e. coyote for laughs. Which led to something really cool. I'll save that story for later on. LOL!!   But, I knew Pro would luv that sticker LOL!!

Now, the question is: Did ya'll notice something on the rear of the car that was different. Not talking about the camera on the big wang!! Something else?????

As for the numbers, it can't be an FAA registry number because they all start with "N". It's a 2008 Challenger, hence the 08. 2023 must stand for the number of raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, and deer you've killed with the car respectively! So 2 coons , zero squirrels (cause they are quick little boogers), two crazy wabbits (what do you expect with a willie e coyote sticker on the car?), and of course 3 deer (a.k.a. The Deer Slayer)!

GE, I'm surprised at you letting the cooling system get air in it. I thought everyone pulled vacuum these days to prevent it.

 

You need to do a batch of those Acme stickers for sale.

Hat's off to the guru of HP.  Looks like a blast.  The Coyote sticker must add 3-4 HP.   Great shots, how do you do the long range selfies???

Frosty -  your almost right on the number and correct on the license plate. Since the car is an 08 challenger srt8 limited edition first number 08= year 2023 is the limited edition number. Now, about those kill hash marks I haven't put those on as of yet. They are coming really soon!! But, no squirrels as of yet!!

Pro -  you would not believe just how many times that booger was purged and vacumed to make sure all air was out. And it was done at the track as well.

Ringo - I knew you had a twisted mind like my LOL!!

Justa - I have a few cameras that home in on a beacon in the car that takes video but, I can pull single shots from it as well. And it helps to have a few friends with cameras out there to take pics for you as well LOL!!  But, I usually run around 6 cameras in or out of the car and 3 setup at different locations on the track. That camera that I use to track the car is called SOLOSHOT3 check it out it's really cool. I use it to film restoration projects for some shows that I'm gonna put on the internet. I already have 85 videos edited and ready to post. https://shop.soloshot.com/

GE, who did your decals? I've received an urgent demand to find Sonic the Hedgehog decals so the missus can find her new car in the parking lots. I don't kid when I say all these new cars look alike.

GE I am still waiting for some sort of badging that looks like this on your car for all your roadkill. The Air Force only requires 5 kills. So you are technically, you are an ace.
