Sounds like you are having fun Brent. I used to have a car to take to the track...

brent flynn · 08-10-2014, 10:24 PM

yea, Rich, im having some fun, no doubt... Its not fast, for an E car, but, im gonna have to be satisfied with it, for awhile... Just dont have the funds to race it AND spend money on it... im ok with that...racing it, fast or slow, is the most important thing to me... You will get yours done, and i see some good performance coming your way... you were having some problems...Just glad you didnt implode it, before you tore it dow....

Hey Y'all... been a busy guy lately... got a couple good races in, 5 rounds each, went to Switzerland and France, came back, got some good #'s out of my street '72 Lemans Wagon( 13.82 on the brakes) and working my machine shop job. No racing this weekend( Muncie closed, due to Bracket Finals in Indy). SO , back at it next weekend. Hoping for some 11.40s! Here is a pic or 2 of the beast...hehe and a link to my band in Switzerland, 2013 CHeck it out! Rock and Roll!! Im the long haired hippie, on guitar...hehe

Right on, Tom! hehe.... Thanks Y'all... Got a little time off, before next gig...still workin normal 40+ hrs week in a fab shop... Hoping to ring some 11.40s out of the Bird this weekend, but found out Muncie is running some big bucks race, they dont run Sportsman when they do that, so may go to Bunker Hill and try my luck on the 1/8 mile... wanting to beat 7.25/93mph...and win some rounds in the process...hehe
