The look on Nick Bacalis’ face says it all – today was filled with rain and cold winds, making it a washout – but the tech line was full all day long.

Sean Lyon’s new machine is nothing short of awesome. The craftsmanship on this car must be seen to be believed. Mike Duffy and Mark Biddle of Panhandle Performance went all-out and created one of the nicest cars we’ve seen in a long time.

Bad Brad Edwards has been hard at work sorting out all of the bugs on his car. He decided to add a magneto (which isn’t operating yet), which necessitated moving the turbos, which required him to install a new Outlaw K-member from Team Z Motorsports – and then he started breaking parts. He hasn’t been able to put a full hit on the car, but it performed well in testing last week in Huntsville. We heard rumors of it going six numbers quicker to the 330′ mark…what will that mean if he can put full pulls on it this weekend? We’re salivating at the thought of catching the first 3.80 pass in RvW.

The guys in Woody’s pit were thrashing to return the car to operating conditions…that’s a busted valve spring sitting there up front.

Aaron Stapleton of Fast Forward Race Cars is here competing with his Mustang inOutlaw 275 in a car that’s really built for the NMCA’s Nostalgia Pro Street class. Stapleton feels the squeezed 632 is a bit outgunned, but he’s going to give it his best shot.

We love the old-school Vortech Igloo atop Brian Edwards’ Redline Motorsports MX235 machine, owned by Matt Bell. The engine is this car is the same Trick Flow-headed 356-cube bullet Bell used to run in the NMRA’s old Drag Radial class. It’s pumped up by an 85mm turbocharger and is controlled by Holley’s Dominator EFI system.

Another MX235 hotrod, this one owned by Brad Medlock. He’s been working to get it put together over the last few years, and finally had time to bring it out. The car was recently wired by none other than Wade Hopkins of Southern Speed Racing. Medlock doesn’t have any idea what it’s going to run – he says he’s made just two 330-foot hits with it so far, but the results have been promising.

Stefan Destito’s Ty Tech-powered ’93 Trans Am (a former Dragzine feature car) relies on an unconventional powerplant for X275 – an old-school LT1 with 23-degree heads that’s inflated by a ProCharger F-1X. Destito says the car has been 4.70s previously, and was recently revamped. He feels 4.50s are not out of the question.

Tyler Crossnoe (left) and head tech dude John Sears (right) discuss the finer points of the tech process. Crossnoe has engineered a stellar event here at the Outlaw Street Car Reunion – cars are currently pitted on both sides of the track, with an estimated 200+ heads-up cars on the property already.

This shot was taken at 7PM and is indicative of the line of cars that were waiting to get through tech all day long.

At the back of the line sits none other than THE Kevin Mullins. We spoke with Kevin, who spent all winter getting his new business, TKM Performance, up and running. Mullins says that he hasn’t had much time to fool with the car, and the few times he’s been out they’ve been breaking parts. He’s looking to get consistent passes down the track before he tries turning it back up.
