Classes are good..... I'd like to see some of those noisey straight 6's get out there. Either way, I'm there and makin passes.
Only 1 way to find out...... Maybe they'll let you start from the back of the staging lanes to build up some speed.
You asked for it Dale, I'm coming to take the trophy from you. Which is fine 'cause it will stay in the club. I'm just wondering where I'll put...

Hey Gasserman, you got any pic's of that bird?
You guys are right, it is a 62. I think cutting out the wheel wells instead of tubbing does look more period correct. Which is the look we are...
