Nice! I still have 2 years to go. BTW, where's the HC tag? Only kidding.

Hi,
The original owner/builder of the car only took the car to the track once. Opened the headers and let her rip. It went 11.19 at almost 129 mph. The car obviously did not hook up. I saw a film of it making the run and definitely needed tires. It is a fun ride for an old drag racer like myself. Reminds me of back in the day. It is a pump gas 509, 400 trans, 4:86 gear.
Thanks much,
Colonel1

Hi Huskinhano,
HC tag huh!!!! Not a bad idea. Don't need one yet but maybe I could get one some how. That would be great to get those wide parking spots at the grocery store. Don't laugh. A couple of weeks ago we took it to the local grocery. Parked sideways out at the end of the lot. Got a lot of strange looks. One of the baggers loved it.
