Even if Steve's car and engine were not in pieces, I doubt he could fit the 55 gallon drum of race gas in the hatch to get him there and back.

I doubt I'll be able to make it either. An ex with big cans is taking me to dinner...already have reservations.

Nope everything else under the car is ok, just took a litle paint off the torque arm... should have the new shaft tomorow.

Yep the wreck was the 80's Bu that Eric had 3 weeks to put together and many last minute changes. We ended up helping him near the end to get it done in time (Wired the whole car from scratch in one night) and the final touches were finished that morning before gong to the track.

I hope everyone was ok. Looks a lot better than the mustang at Vicary day last year.

I bought my rear end and torque arm from Eric. He's gonna put my cage in this winter.

I was at his Vicory days last year when the other Stang went over that same wall and flipped into the light poll. My buddy was lined up to go run with him, but was held back and then I was behind him. CRAZY!

I think it was on CentralStreetScene....saw that car pulling the wheels up pretty high!

Yeh eric built the cage and that was on the second pass without a whole lot of chasis fine tuning. The driver walked away and was cleared imediately by EMS, helped load the car and then asked when we were building the next one.
