Yep, last pass Oct 2007. Won't get into the reason why, too complicated.... Got the car in a workable shop, have some parts, both in hand, and on the way. Motor was fresh before. Trans too. Tow vehicle seems functionable. Looks like a trip to RFR is doable in June. A long time coming. If someone wants a ticket to round 2, better hook a tow strap to the bumper. Results to follow.

Leigh I'm glad it's beginning to come together for you. Your car was the inspiration for my current ride. Best of luck to you.

Good Luck Leigh. Glad to see you will be getting the Dart back out. Looks like I'll be taking some time off of racing for one of the reasons you did...

Good luck,Leigh! I haven't seen you guys for a loong time! Maybe you can make the Terry Stumpf memorial races or Mopar Max down here. I think the entry fees for those races are less than a points weekend. (90.00 for 1 day!!) Jeff...Hang in there,buddy...I think I know what you are talking about..

Hey, thanks, everybody. I sure have missed running the car. Again, thanks for the support.

Congrats. Hoping to get back in this summer myself. I'll watch for that dart at RFR or BIR.

From what I remember of that car I hope you haven't developed a fear of heights in the last 6 years!!!
For years it was my dream to get my car to leave the line like that Dart.
Good luck with your return!!!
Mike
p.s. Leigh, could you post that original video clip of the car launching? I would like to see it again .I lost that clip I think about 4-5 computers ago!

Post a picture of said car, so I know what to look for.
You must have got out just before I started racing.
