Tweet

Cruz Pedregon is unvealing a nostalgic fuel funny car as a tribute to John Keeling and my California Charger Pontiac Firebird driven by Neil Leffler--Going down to Indy for open house at his shop on Thursday afternoon---

this is a spread of the car that appeared in Hot Rod Magazine click on the pic to increase the size for viewing---

Only a four hr. ride that could be interesting now that gas has gone over 4 bucks you going to be there???

Sweet!
A great write-up and a great honour!
Congratulations!

Super deal Jerry---hope you bring us back a bunch of pics!!!!!

Very cool, and it looks like they did a GREAT job on the car - you'll have to report back after you go over it up close & personal!! Congratulations, and have a safe trip!!

Gorgeous!

But then, we expect no less........

I guess the picture was mis leading--thats a copy of the artical back in late 70s or early 80s of the original car--just posted it for referance---
The car won't be uncovered until I arrive ---planned open house is from 3-7 on thursday--

Gas prices???????????Chicago as reported yesterday has highest prices in the country , even being higher than Hawaii----------
How do those drive by shooters affort that much gas????total shootings in Chi town over week end was near 30 with I think 9 deaths---and that's Chicago, home of 0(zero)Bama and his ex chief of staff Mayor Rahn Emanuel----------and they want sticter gun laws???????????? they confiscated over 100 guns on the week end on drug busts-----------

Did the Afgan war have that many over the same weekend, probably not. They must be soooooo proud of their work in Chicago.

Don't get us going on chicago politics Jerry...100 guns? No way! That is so pathetic.
Anyway, have fun at the unveiling and get some 'as it occurs' pics. We'd all like to be there to congratulate you but short of that the pics will help let us live the moment vicariously.
Chicago reminds me of the famous quote by then DC Mayor Marion Barry...'if not for the murders DC has a pretty low crime rate'
yup, he actually said that.

The police chief did make a statement that some of them were retalitory---think he means they(the cops) are cutting costs by hoodies killing off each other instaead of going to court------

I'm wanting to get photo credentials if I can------------

Hmmmmmm. Gangsters killing gangsters....... Would that be the good news or the bad news???? I always get confused!!!!


Have fun on Thursday, Jerry!!!! Wish it wasn't such short notice, I'd sure like to be there and witness you getting that big standing ovation!!!!!!!! Any chance that Speed or ESPN will be filming it?????

I understand that someone will be filming it, don't know who----but of course lots of stuff gets filmed, lit gets broadcast--- If the producer is in his 60s, maybe--if a BMW driving 30 something????????????????????

Jerry.This is kewl. Congrats man.
