Made to the finals at MMW 10.5. I want to thank bobo Mendez for all his help with the engine. Good old Johnny cope for my flawless transmission. So far the only thing on the car not giving me trouble lol. And jeff Mckernan without who's tools, garage, truck and trailer. None of it would have been possible.

All of the 10.5 cars put on a good show . I do like to watch them play and the banter between them is priceless Looking forward to see the battle at Norwalk!

Larry its always nice to see you and you did a heck of a job. That thing was flying and looked good doing it. I wanted to get a picture of you and Bird but he was pouring out soo much Diesel smoke it was hard to see. lol
Im surprised. Normally where there is smoke there is fire, but not this year. You did great to Bird.
