Carlos DeJesus, I believe. Drooled over that car at Mason Dixon a couple of years ago.
Doug Dick's car. Carlos has driven it, as has at least one member here. Last time I saw it, it was running mid-low 11's. Dead silent, too.

I was lucky enough to drive that car for 3 years. It's deadly consistent - much more so than this driver deserves. It belongs to Kenny Dick. Kenny also drives a 65 Cuda and is a pretty darn good driver. Carlos did drive it at Mason Dixon..., and so did I. When I was driving it at Mason Dixon (I lost in the finals), they kept introducing me as Carlos on the PA so maybe that's where some of the confusion came from.  Carlos is also a friend of mine a hell of a driver. Here are some more pics of the wagon.

Cool. I saw it at the Turkey Race in 2011 at M-D. I think it was in the 11.20s that day. I haven't met Carlos in person yet, but know Dave Raser, Don Anderson (Ferndale Flyer). I'll have to remember to look at my pics from then, see if they came out decent.

Still waiting on new front stuff .. Rear mock up .. 15x10.5x28 tires rear rims 15x10 with 3.5 backspace Looks like we will have about .75 on each side of tire .. If we can't squeeze them in, we can drop a tire size.. Pretty tight, think it will fit
