just wanted to let a few people know that I finally got my bucket of bolts back together and running and actually took it for a drive around the block.Its been a very difficult last year and a half after being injured in a freak accident. The last time I had it at the track was May of 2022. It made 3 passes at 9.50 at 150mph in the quarter. Then in September I got sidelined. The car already had problems and needed some repairs. Over the 2023 winter I was finally able to work on it. I wanted to give a big shout out to Al Aquire for all the assistance with late night phone calls and texts. Birdtracker

"life" always want's to toss a monkey wrench into the works at the most inopportune time.

Glad you are back doing well and the car is almost there.
