Hey UNCLE Hemi Bob, the North West Nostalgia Drags at Pacific are just around the corner or you can bring all that Mopar muscle down to the Shelton Nostalgia drags Aug. 5th & 6th.
I think I'll run my "T" a few times there just to see what it'll do.

You never know Davey...................as long as I stay away from nitro!!
Well Larry, the Dodge is in Vegas, and still mostly in pieces so doesn't look like any of THAT is gonna happen for a while. Runnin' the T could be a kick for you though!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I've got to disagree a bit on the racing. Drag racing used to be who is Glidden going to take out in the final rounds, and who is gonna win top fuel? (Usually Garlits, Shirley, or Kenny).
In NASCAR, there were maybe a half dozen cars capable of winning, the rest were measured in laps down. Now you have got to be really on your game to even make the show, and anyone of the starters could be a contender for the win!!
Sure, racing has gotten so expensive it's out of the range of a couple of guys running out of their back alley garage to be competitive. The teams who are competitive are the one's who know how to market their product and attract the big $$$$ sponsors. IMO racing in any form is a lot more competitve now then it has ever been. Do I miss the "good old days"??? You bet your a** I do!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
