I've seen and ridden in Don's RR .... IMHO, it doesn't even need an engine (it has a 383 now), just rings/bearings/more cam and a fresh set of valve springs ....
Just sayin' .....Whiskey for my men ... and beer for their horses!

My hopes are slightly restored by the offers. Still have some feelers out for local guys to copilot. The car is ready. If I can't find someone by July I'll be contacting you guys."Friends don't let friends run the daily driver class,"

Thanks DJ.You are addicted and havent even gone yet. Thats a good thing.I will do my best to go and race.If I cant have a car that will be somewhat competitive I'll still go and not race.When I went for the first time in 07 it was in its infancy and didnt realize what a great event it was. Now it should be on any serious gearheads bucket list.It will be interesting to see how HR handles the waiting list,dropouts etc.For it being your first time DJ stay away from the Aussies.They are 12 hours off time wise,thay like to talk and drink.But damn they are the greatest people.If I knew a kangaroo could go 1500 miles Id ride one. LOL.

My dream car.Then I meet Bambi the deer and its totaled.Did I mention that I have lost both my parents in the last 19 months?They call me Lucky. LOL.
I hate to hear this but I do get it. You were my first encounter of Drag Week comraderie. You offered assistance to me without ever meeting me. Once we arrived it was like I knew you all my life. To me you are what Drag Week is about. I hope you go even as a passenger. If there is anything I can do please give me a call. And remember keep your head up things will come around when you least expect. Take care my friend.
