My brother finally got our car back out this weekend. Its been a long time coming for us. Any see his post below and hopefully you guys can view the videos of him at the track. He experienced some gremlins so no full runs yet but still good to see the car at the track for the first time since our dad passed away.

My brothers post:
Whooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I want to thank Doc Baker from Shade Tree Performance, Mike Uekman, Randy Westmoreland from Leash Electronics, Mr. Glen Ellison & Mrs. Susie from Instant Imprints, Julian Jones from Studio Julian, Randy Hipp, Steve Haynes, Leonard Lamia, Rachael Haynes, Bob Worlow, Vince Suzanne Ridling, (Thanks Mr. Vinnie) Mattia Pasquato, Carlo Casillo, Pietro Casillo, Viviana Casillo, Maud Van Eck (Dizzle), Paul Grunewald, Ane Sehl Svendsen, Mathilde HΓΈva (Tillie), Harland Sharp Rocker Arms, Hughes Engines, Machini Racing, Jegs, Summit Racing, Speedway Motors, Mopar,
and everyone else who helped us get back to the track. It was fun even though we only had one run. Two-Step ground wire broke and I told myself to bring all the wiring stuff, learned my lesson again. Thankful to be there and see some familiar faces. Seeing everyone on Facebook is cool but to see them at the track is PRICELESS. Very thankful for everyone who has supported us asked how the car was doing, even cracking jokes about us never going back to the track well we made it 😝😝😝😝😝......Thanks to the crew Jessica Deon Paradise and the crew cheif Adriel Paradise.....last but not least thanks Pop we would have never had this bug of spending thousands of πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’² countless hours of time spent working on something you never get tired of doing.....I know we made you proud last night.....and again if I missed anyone THANK YOU....Jay....P.R.E.
