    Sorry. the owner is not into touring, chances of viewing will be at selective shows in Ca. only. Next open invite show will be in May at the Nitro Revival event in Laguna Seca along with 40+ vintage top fuel dragsters and a many vintage sports cars.

    Well, I hope people take lots of pictures and videos. I'd love to see it go down the 1/4 mile.

    "Barnstormer" first car after they lifted the nitro ban. Ivo never really liked the gas 4-engine car, it was always about the nitro with him
