Yeah, like they have at the Smithsonian. LOL I got my picture in Fastest Street Car magazine once. So, I had to have that one. I usually pick up the engine masters challenge edition when that comes out. Every once in a while I am amused in something in Car Craft. Digital edition of course :p

Well the UMI adjustable lower control arm brackets and the lowering of the rear an inch were a success. I went to my local 1/8 track on a TNT night. There were a lot of street cars there and the track got pretty dirty, but my car hooked like a champ. Normally in those conditions I would have to roll into the launch and usually still spin. This Wednesday, I just matted it and it stayed hooked nicely all night. Very happy.

No. No good weather for it. Mid 70s, 90+% humidity. Typical Florida wet blanket weather. LOL

I was lucky enough to get a set of barely used 275 Rs for $200 a few months back. Unfortunately, I bought them from the family of a young man who lost his life on a rice rocket. Sad story for sure.

I like it...playing by ear (little bit of a hike).
But to get thrown out at Capital wouldn't hurt my feelings.


Gotta go....Ravens-Steelers game (Mid-Atlantic SuperBowl)

Already 7 beers in
