Awesome news Aaron. Glad to see the street car coming alive now as well. Nice to see all the hard work pay off on both cars.

I'm going to try and go Saturday to 41 to watch. I heard this event is awesome. They run the track backwards. No clocks/no times. The starting line is crap so makes for a nice equalizer. After a few of these events it will get a lot better and a lot faster too

Geting close to that time again. Almost time to wake our cars from their slumber. Lets see if we can get some people on board for a cruise or a meet up. Car shows are cool, but I wanna drive with some other nice rides.

Yeah maybe lol, a few 59 degree days show up and it makes me forget it's only the beginning of march. I have a few things to finish up as well before solid weather arrives. Good luck with finishing up. Maybe we'll see each other around.

Hey Aaron. Glad to see your about buttoned up with the street car. I'm sure it's as well thought out as the beast is. Hope everything else is going good. Maybe this year we will meet up again. I'll be around. Take it easy.
