Might need to keep it as a backup if James' car blows the trans out again. Was it a racecar before Troy restored it? It will be something to see how your Maxie runs too.

Thanks Ralph

Without all the help from everyone this could have never happened. Mike B never gives up even when I thought we where as far as it would go, He finds a little more!

James is really kicking butt with the 4spd car his time is up in the ranks now with all the big boys! (Very Proud). We are building a F/S stick car for my youngest son Eddie for 2010

I just hope I can do it again?

I get a lot more attention from telling me my car is still raced and runs 12's than it ever gets from just being antoher A12.

I am bragging on your car, not mine. If I had your engine in my Dart, it would go low to mid 10's. I hope that you keep it race ready, just in case.

Incredible, congratulations Ed.
I'm assuming the black Road Runner. Will it be retired from FAST duty now that it's into the 10's?

Dave the car will be retired this year as soon as the Maxie has the bugs worked out. I am not sure if I will start to restore it right away or wait to see if it needs to be called back to duty.

You know the car as been a race car a lot longer then it's been a show car!

Never seen the car, but in my opinion cars are like people; It's the wear and scares which give it caracter- do not ruin it...
