Seems like the best choice at this point, everything I have is posted in the race section. It does leave me with some regrets, like not driving it with the improvements I have in the works. My goal was to have the fastest 3000 lb car with 440-1 heads, and I think it just might have been. But an early retirement at work and financial considerations, not to mention less desire to work at racing, have helped me come to a conclusion. I will not leave this sight, as my heart is hear, and always will be. Some of my best memory's over the last thirty two years involve this car and racing!

You left out, golfing, but really, when did you move back to Arizona, Al?

Al, it would be great fun to help out! Sandy and I are planning our winter warmth trip, may have to consider going west rather than east! Wes, golf sounds like a great idea. Maybe a trip to the track, Texas roadhouse, this retirement is beginning to sound better! Dominic, love your dart! Anybody that has a 9 second street ride gets my vote! Glen, David, Cab, Guys like you all have made this sight a great place to hang out. Not only great people, but the ET you see in my sig is in large part to info gleaned from the gang here!. Nobody ever does it alone! That is why i will be on the board for some time, enjoying your good company!

I guess you gotta do what you gotta do... Your car is insanely fast for 3,002 #'s and 528 cubes! Definitely your example helped make my decision to switch to Alcohol this year. Glad to hear you are going to stay on the site, because I for one appreciate your advice and ideas. Cheers, Arnie
