      Last I saw Reaper was at #10. That means a Nine Second quarter IF he can keep it running that long....

              Now, Reaper might be proper for the street racer soaps, but Arnie is the real deal.... a legend in drag racing's match racing history!-

                          Wow he's hanging in there! I've got a nostalgic drag racing video of him in the early sixties.

                            But alas.... the situation was not in the spectator's favor.... First, Reaper shows up over 2 hours late, and then drags his feet until the weather and an oil down ruined the track.... He didn't do anything other than show up, unload, and then load his car after giving an interview stating that he didn't give a "darn" what happened, that he was going to make a pass...even without any test hits....didn't happen...On the brighter side, there were several test and tune passes made by the locals, including Arnie's car! the oil down was a rather nice green Elco that literally grenaded a motor...

                              Like I said a Nine second quarter IF he can go that far.... The Vega LOOKS like a 10 second car with a ProCharger tacked on. Eats The Reaper's Lunch on a regular basis though. Lately Big Chief gets a lot of "Lucky" breaks. If the moonlight and the breezes are JUST right Ryan is quick. Daddy Dave could somehow some WAY fling a wheel barrow down a track quick enough to beat anything on any given night. But Larry Larson still OWNS them all including the dwarf from Pennsylvania.
