I got rear ended by a drunk driver the beginning of August. It made a pretty good mess of my car. We patched it together to finish the year and torched the head and block the first pass after that. I stripped the car basically to a shell so it can go to the body shop after the first of the year. I have a Mustang for my daughter that we are putting the vega motor in once it's back together, I'll start a thread for that car, it's pretty nice.

Here is a video of the only pass I made at the track all year. I mostly did no-prep and street racing. This is with the new cam, which went faster then the "celebrity" cam I had in it last year.

Bringing this back from the dead. I got the car on a frame machine and got it pulled back into shape. Started on body work and new exhaust. New motor should be done in March.

How drunk do you have to be not to see that car?

Makes me want to move back to Colorado so badly, having all of that polished metal and not worrying about it.
