What was the car like when you first
bought it?
The car has been in the
family for 20 years. It was a street car with a six cylinder engine.
We
put a 340cu engine in and went drag racing. Made improvements every
year to frame, suspension and engine.
Most frustrating memory/problem with the
car: Overheating problem when weather was hot. Advice to others: When something isn't working correctly,
find out why.

at Cecil for the 2002 Championship.
Hardest project ever worked on: Putting the roll bars in the car and the sub-frame
