I don't have any pics but if you go to the classracer photo gallery and search Buff Daddy Motorsports, Mike Carr has a few pics of them.
Billy I've seen many of your successful RWD cars and they were super cool (especially the 4dr Nova). That's awesome that you raced those cars, and I hope you did good with them. Welcome back seems the more appropriate comment to you, and I wish you success with your latest entry! One of these years (God willing), I hope to venture out to your part of the country, so I can see what racing on tracks that have uncorrected barometric pressures of 30+ is like, since I'm not sure what'll be going on in Sonoma since we lost Kyle Siepel . In the meantime, I'll enjoy my likely last race in DF/S next week(end), while I wait for the NHRA Tech people to determine what CF/S is going to be. However, I'm stymied by the lbs per hp factor for my car showing up as 20.09? I could've sworn (as recently as the early October Vegas double-header), my cars factor was 19.22? I am stumped by that and actually pleasantly surprised by it, because adding 239lbs is better than adding 375 to run DF/S next year. However, I'm hoping the CF/S index will be raised to 15.50-15.60 instead?
