The plan, (like I really plan stuff)was to drive Saturday night to the Main street cruse about 10 miles away and if that went ok run it Sunday at the new 1/8th. The car did ok, meaning I didn't have to call for backup to get me home but it was definitely not race ready for Sunday... As it turned out the Sunday racing was rained out anyways.. Maybe next weekend... And at least its up and running again!


8sec. street car, been there done that. Quitting when your ahead isn't the same as quitting.

Thanks guys! I don't think the Main st peeps have much too worry about, but who knows Chris be good to see you out and meet up! If anybody around here remembers Jerry Hastings, he and I have been talking and going to meet up at Green Cove in the next week or two. He has a few Mopar's and is messing with a procharged 360 Dart street car now. Jerry is in his 70's and not slowing down!
