Of course I did. I made sure to stop by and we developed a secret handshake and everything! :lol:

I asked him about his fiberglass front end. The guy that built the car originally made molds which have long been lost/destroyed. Nice guy.

Terry, this car is surely a lot lighter than yours. It only weighs a little over 2,000 lbs. I’m shooting for 11.40 or quicker to re-set Will Burns’ record.

This is the time trial Sunday morning when I ran the 12.77 @ 101 MPH.

Tracy Potter is the guy with the other Challenger with a similar paint scheme. His car runs a big block.

Photo and part#


All of the photos I took today are too large to upload here. I will email them to you.

I don't know if the new board changes are the issue or the IOS phone update I recently did.

I'm too much of a tech tard to figure these things out. :roll: :oops:
