>>>Patterson Racing Testing At HRP - First Flight Of The Superbird<<<

[Nick]

Thomas Patterson was out at Houston Raceway Park today and your favorite Outlaw was there to take some pics.

We'll start with some shots of the ex-Brandon Pesz '53 Corvette now sporting a Headhunter paint job and a screw blower.

These next shots should give you some idea of the detail Barney Squires put into these paintjobs.

Bill Barrett has got the tuneup in it and now it's time for this bad boy and team driver Billy Gibson to hit the track for it's first-ever pass.

Thomas and Richard haven't made any firm plans for the upcoming season. Thomas said the only date they know for sure is the upcoming ADRL race. Wherever they choose to run they are going to be very competitive. Thomas still has the "Headhunter" mindset and you know he won't be satisfied until he wins a championship.

Man what a great looking car! Love that skeleton road runner... MEEP MEEP, Mothaf....!

[Steven B]

Both those cars look badass!

[Tom Donovan]

Love the paint - I am tired of all the wraps lately.

Anybody notice the pitot tube sensor in the injector hat on both cars?

The Patterson's now have a nice stable of cars. There's the ex-Mikel owned, Brandon Pesz driven 1953 Corvette and this brand new 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Then there's the ex-Chip King 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger and the trusty Headhunter 1941 Willys. Finally, there's the ex-Buddy Shulz 1952 Chevy coupe. And that's just the Pro Mods. :)

You know, i saw them but didnt know what they are or what function they perform. Whats the scoop on it? What is its purpose?

[Dross]

If it's what I think it is, Don Jackson Engineering makes them. It will supply info to a racepak & shows A/F ratio. Don has worked out these ratios for Methanol & Nitro. I'm sure a smart guy like Dr. Bill can add this info to his tune-up method & get even closer on the jet size.

Those things are SWEET...... :cool:

Great Picture Shooting also......:)

Is Dr Bill Still Tuning For Chip .

[Mike Canter]

I noticed Dr Bill there. I had heard that he was going to tune Tom's car. That is good.

[Nick]

The '53 'Vette went 3.85 at 195 today. I think they're getting close. :)

[D.Brown]

Next week should be interesting. Im anxious to see what the Scruggs crew will do this year. Looks like Patterson is ready to step up and go after him.

[tammy]

Good Luck TEAM PATTERSON ..... BILLY AND THOMAS .... cars are looking good !!

[PMKREW]

Those are some sweet looking rides!
Just more fine rides form the Patterson's...

[Nick]

A little birdie told me that the Superbird will be racing in the upcoming JEGS ProMod Challenge in Baytown. ;)

[brucelee]

In less than a year this car is now the WORLDS QUICKEST AND FASTEST DOOR CAR.

Congrats guys.

I Sure Like That 53, Wonder If It's Getting Repaired?
