Hope he gets it going again. One of my favorites on the board. Love watching the video of it.

This game goes through a lot of peaks and valleys if you hand with it long enough. It’s like getting a tooth pulled getting me in my shop right now and my other car is so close to having running. At least I’m glad I listened to my son and made my black Duster old man “lazy man” friendly. It slower with all the added nice-a-tees but soooo user friendly

The last 10 years has always boiled down to $, or more specifically, a lack there of.

Boy,ain't that the truth.

The last time I talked to him was on Woodward
some years ago.. if I recall correctly he had
already fried a couple of pistons on the Haze

I used to have a lot of time but no money. Then I went thru a period where I had some money to spend but no time. I also had a few years where I didn't have a shop even though I had some time and some money. It is difficult to get time, money and a place to work all simultaneously.

No doubt!

IIRC, CBK made a huge jump in speed & tech when he bought The Haze. IMO, he got in over his head w/ that thing, and it kind of went downhill from there when the mechanical issues started to come up.

I'm not busting his chops; it wouldn't be much different if I ended up w/ an ex-Pro Stock car and then had to learn to both drive & maintain something much faster and far more complex than what I own now.

All I can add is that it was "the most" impressive street car of it's time as I was at Sac many times when the original owner was running it, watching him lift at 1,000 ft and still running a high 7 low 8 in the 170's. Wonder how that car would fair on that Monday night TV show, I am sure back in that day it would be at the top.

My parents bought and still own (to the best of my knowledge) the white car he had. I messaged him back and forth a couple months ago and then he was gone as fast as a ninja again.
