Best of all, I met the boss of the meeting, He gave me a DVD of the last year Mopar Nats, where my car was choosen to be displayed on the front cover

Finally, was a very good first racing week end of the year !

Man, that`s haulin the mail......... hot lookin car too.....

We were at the other track at SCR at the spring nationals MSA event. Hopefully we'll see the car at the euro finals in september?
Congrats on the new PB

I will be back to Pod on May 22-23 for another run what you brung, and later for the Mopar Euro Nat at the end of July. Come take a beer !

Unfortunately we won't be at the Mopar Euro Nats rwyb . We can only afford to do so many races a year. We appreciate the offer though
If you can enter the euro finals you will find that the track is a lot better than at rwyb's, we've found it to be 1 -2 tenths better. Super pro ET (6.3 to 8.99 sec) would be a great class for you

Congrats on your new best.... thats gettin with
the program

I saw your car there on Sunday but didn't get to see you run . I was in the black 70 Road Runner.

Eric, way to go with that new best, I know you were aiming for that seven . Flew in on sunday, was raining at Gatwick , so we headed up on monday , sunny down south of London ,but by the time we got to Santa Pod it was raining there . Only a few cars hoping the rain would pass. Maybe I'll locate you when I get to Paris next week. Steve

You're more than welcome to visit me in my company : VANTASTIC http://vantastic-racing.com/ you will see my junk .....

Eric

I'm both baffled and impressed.
Slower 60' but much stronger incrementals and final e.t and m.p.h. on the second pass.
But still a super nice lap.
Wheel spin after the shift on the first pass ?
Did the timing change just make it pull harder once it started legging it out ?
Really nice looking car too.

I saw you're run Eric , very impressive , we were there for the weekend too , came home with a busted transmission on the 68.

Wish it weren't such a long and curvy road to get there, I would like to come to the euronats too. About 2000€ for the cartrip alone, so I think we can't make it.

Here is the link for the Mopar Euro nats: http://www.mopareuronats.com/ this is a very good meeting at the US level (in term of quality), lot of cars, girls (shutttt), good races, very good track. Only drawback : you have to survive to the English food......

Coucou Eric

Félicitations pour les perfs !
Le 7.XX n'est pas loin !

Ta voiture est superbe. Le travail et la persévérance paient...

A bientôt,
