In 1977 I bought my Max Wedge ready to race for $2,100.00.....don't thing you can do that now.

Jim,
Alex knows what I meant. Alex and I trade barbs constantly, we were standing in the staging lanes poking fun at each other a couple of times last weekend at Bowling Green. Just like Jeff Tueton and I were. Jeff and I were standing behind the starting line and I told him his Super Stock car that Kevin Helms was driving sounded like a school bus with a vacuum leak. It's all in fun.
