Hey whats up, the car ran fairly good for the 90* heat. The track really sucked for traction on a points night, I spun 40- 50 feet on every run. It seems like I am going to be very happy with the new ride.
And yes I will need a better alternator from Richard, thanks.

Yeah Greg the guy trailered it here Friday from Cincinati for me. It has a decent paint job but deffinately not beautiful, the inside needs some work. It does have a very good engine/tranny combo, the fuel system is top notch. Also the chassis and cage are all chromemolly 7.50 cert, very good setup. I`ve got some work to do on it but I am happy with it.
