This'll be fun to watch. Sounds like a blast to me! Hope they have good pizza along the way...

That's pretty cool Robin went along. Maybe he'll get her into a car sometime??

It's awesome how Seymour drives his toad all over without a truck&trailer behind him for back up! You never see the "great" Boyd Coddington doing it. Even I get nervous over 100 miles out, that's as far as AAA will tow me without charge :D

Robin is pretty hard core, like her Dad.

I called Jim Cox tonight to talk about bellhousings and lo and behold, he was eating dinner with Seymour and Robin! Got to talk to S for a few minutes. Said his car has run in the 13s at every race so far and he's still tuning up the new motor. Hasn't skipped a beat yet with two races left.

Seymour said one of the fastest cars there, in the high 8s, is a Nova wagon with a turbo six!

He was psyched that his car is on the internet already - thanks for the link, Tom.

Maybe now Seymour will get Internet service, huh? :shock:

Glad to hear the car is flying. He was pretty unhappy that it was "only" running mid-14'd at St. Louis. :roll:

Here is day three. There is a link at the bottom that shows the standings.

That's cool. Not many Mopars in that crowd. You go Seymour! He does us all proud.

He gets another mention at the bottom where they talk about a family affair.

Seymour is getting it done! Hope they give him a decent write up when it goes to press, I know he'll be fighting for a plug about slant six racing. We're extremely lucky he's part of our group.

Looks like you have to make a good recovery from a failure to get much mention. I can't argue that rebuilding a whole engine like that is something wild. What do you expect, it's a chevy :roll:

If they only counted the cost of fuel and repairs for the contest, Seymour would be MUCH higher in the standings.
