Yes unbelievable cars we have today Speaking of which... I watched a "wouldn't give a second glance" Tesla drop a 9.44 outta nowhere. Still boring, though. A Tesla Plaid....Fastest poduction car made. Very cool Brad! Amazing what those care do bone stock. Yep, those Tesla Plaids are FAST. A friend has one...he relates it to driving a really fast golf cart, lol. He also has 2 REAL fast mustangs, but has been playing w/ the Tesla all the time lately.

I don't care about Tesla Plaid, or 1320 Challengers I will go back to Capitol when Mopig shows up Brad give me some advanced notice I'll buy a plane ticket and come We did not get a chance to meet in person when I lived there, life gets in the way as they say.

Funny you guys mentioned The MoPig My oldest son, Derek, went to the track w/ me on Saturday. On the drive back, I told him I was very happy w/ how the 1320 ran, but it only took the first pass for me to remember how much faster the old car was / will be. Waiting for the cold weather to let up long enough to get back to work on it 'cuz a cramped unheated garage sucks. Herb - I still owe you a track lunch for the line-lock button you freebie'd me Al - Yeah, I dropped the ball on making connections w/ you while you were back here

That's an extremely generous offer, but I don't have a truck that can pull a trailer. Part of my old car's legacy(?) is that it's always been driven to the track... although it did come home on a rollback once when I done blowed up the engine real good at MIR about 25 years ago.

I've had open space in my shop most of the winter. You could be out there wrenching. Or just laying on the heated floors taking a nap!

I came up up with an idea. Andy could fly out with Al the last week of April and meet Brad....with all their knowledge and experience they would get Mopig running 8s Weather is actually nice here that time of year.
