Thanks John, Terry. Colin, I hope to meet with you some day at the races. I'm glad to see your as excited as I when it comes to factory involvement.

Larry, Larry....... When I started to run my car back in '87 it was a 68 Cobra jet. I was regularly out run by the 396's and 440's by two tenths. it was only after 10 years that I got close to all you guys. Did I give up....hell no, I was dragracing, having a blast. So I lost when it came to heads up racing, I was still doing what I love. I am sure everyone has heard this saying before, " Life is not fair, what makes you think NHRA will be" I roll with the punches and try to get the most out of life.

My car may have come from paper, but the last time I looked at the record books I was not in it, not even my combo. The 396 can step up when they have to. Larry, would you like me to list all of the parts they did not come on your car, the 396's, I can go on and on. I may have more then some, but my car is no faster then any of the top cars out there. Would it make you and all the Shelby haters happy if I just parked the car. Stock will never be what it once was or what some think it was, that's a fact and we all have to live with it.

Larry, its not personal, and I hope you don't take it that way. We need to have fun. I think your combo should have less hp on it and I think you should have enhanced parts for what its worth.

bsa633, I guess I have answered your question about being out run. been there done that, I can deal with it.
