Took the coupe out Friday night with a set of Hoosiers after spinning my radirs at Fontana and Irwindale. Ran an 11.15@116. A couple small issues but I'm pretty dam happy considering bad air and the heat, now I'm itching for that ten second slip haha. Not bad for a weekend driver Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

Any info on how much it is to run in exhibition at hot rod reunion? Can't seem to find anything on it or anyone who has in the past. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Looks Like a great car for the Eagle Field deal! Airfield Drag Racing is a whole different deal. As My old boss said last year after our fall race up here. "That is the most fun I have had on a Saturday afternoon in 40 years." Nice car and good numbers! I am sure Rocky would make you feel right at home there.
That's impressive -- well done! ..And one hell of a cool car, to boot. Do you have any sort of roll bar? Malcolm
Wish I could make it October 4th but I have plans, any other races coming up there? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
