Last night I was going to say, "Where is Ari?" as he seems to be the guy with all the KOS pics, but other guys have stepped up this time too. Thanks! Always loved these cars, especially in the earlier days when cars like Steve Baughman's Duster were competitive. I saw him actually CRUISING that Duster at the Mopar nats YEARS ago. I think that was the only KOS car I actually personally saw on the street.

Hey, there is Danny Scott's Camaro! He is a good friend of mine. He restored the car back to as you see it in the picture after it burned to the ground in a fire. Now it says "born again" on the back of it.

Didn't take pictures. Was driving the wheels off of it.

Everything is for sale. Always has been.

I watch people sell buy race cars all the time. Like they are never happy with what they have. i have always figured that it would be a huge loss to sell and start over. If I continue to race it will be in this car. The car is just a great driver. I know where every wire, bolt, weld is on the car. With a couple exceptions they were all done by me. The last season I raced I was Fri night heads up racing and cut five .401 lights in a row followed by a .398 in the final. You just can't do that with a bad car. Won the points in an index series where most loosing rounds were due to something I did to mess it up. One round loss was due to a broken valve spring. I knew something happened right away. Sent the data off thinking ignition trouble. MSD did not even notice anything in the RPM curve. I knew where I fealt the issue and was able to point it out. The round in question the car went a 5.96 on a 5.95 dial.

Would I be able to jump right in and have this success with another car.

If I sold it would have to be for the right price. OVer the years a few have been interested. They backed off due to price and then spent double trying to build a car. Most of these guys never made it to the track and have an illegal car for the class they desired.

A new car would be one I built. And that just takes too long.

Leon
