Whew, glad you were able to save it!!!
I was all loaded to run at Martin today but it rained pretty much all day. Do you have enough time to get it out again this year.

Yeah,but we are going to put whole new front under it.We have a new engine for it.So would like to get that in and I want to get the Cuda going. But one way or another we will be out next year and run a lot more events.

nope, not me... I was the guy at the head of staging lanes pulling you out... the challenger is a good friend,

had it set back to stock specs,(computer, wheels ect.) he just won the saturday series for 13.00 at milan. car runs 12.30's. was just out becuase he helps us with the road runner, and was helping another frined with his new Challenger and he just figured he'd make some runs for the heck of it. oppps.

that car wont go near a dealer, (its still under warranty, only 7,000 miles on it, 2008 #6006) its already going to be fixed though.

Pro6, I recognized your car in the sig..good luck with the ball joint, looks to be the left one from that photo.

I was confused about the Chally owner but I think I got straight now.

Plastic is the Milan official and the chally owner has not posted........I think that's, it!

Glad you and the car are safe, that could have been ugly.
