This weekend the Carolina Xtreme Pro Mod series resumes with a race at Darlington Dragway, but Paul and the Cuda Beast won't be on hand. He's awaiting a part for the engine (camshaft, maybe -- our cell connection wasn't the best today). Also, it's going to be scorching weather at the track, which really makes a race weekend much more difficult than it already is.
This follows a couple of rainouts that kept the team home after they recorded their first sub-4-second pass at the first CXPM race in March. The above picture is a screen grab from a video of that pass (you can see it on Paul's FB page). The Beast stood up on the tires and was straight as a string down the track. You can see how the front end is distorting a bit from the speed. An impressive run.
Eager to get back to racing, Paul said his next race may be a foray into the land of the Southern Outlaw Tour, at Montgomery Raceway Park June14-15. It's where the screw-blower cars hang out, and Paul is confident the Beast has something for them. We'll have an update closer to race weekend.
