Now that the ***** is really hitting the fan with NHRA I'm more determined than ever to finish and enjoy it.
There are a few for sale that I know of. PM me if you're interested.

Ed, what is that thing?

Well I sold everything this winter but don't consider myself a quitter. Took my first trip down the drag strip in 1964 and lasted until 2010. Got to meet a lot of nice people and had a ball, even won a few races. No I don't consider myself a quitter in the least.

Hummmmmm.....Kind of thought you might be getting a new DP or Mustang.......LOL. With your sons racing you will no doubt stay busy. Good luck.

Chuck you can always put a studded snow tire on the back of the Harley bundle up and go for a ride. We have known each other since the early 70's when you called me to talk about stick shift, clutch set ups. Since then I have sold 4 of my cars. Everytime I sold one I craved the wheels up gear yanking ride. When I sold my last Demon I thought I would finish the Challenger got pissed at NHRA didn't work on it. I had a chance to buy the Demon back but then it got crashed and destroyed. Bottom line I should have kept my original H code Demon just like you have your Barracuda. I will put one of my cars together if just to go race comb races or stick shift races. Don't sell you will regret it.

Come on Jeff,you've been around.Don't you remember the best make out cars of the 50s-60s?The front seats folded back flat into the back seat.The Nash's had them then the Ramblers.
It's a 1965 Rambler American model 330 station wagon.

I think your little wagon`s cool too Ed!

You could always sell what you really don't need just in case. To me cars are easy to come by and I like the idea of having had different cars. I just called it quits at the end of this year for some of the reasons many have complained about. Also having the extra money has put our family in a great position to sell our existing home and to buy a new home.

My love is for owning the old motors and parts. If I get back into it and have the itch it will be easier as I'll have the motors, transmissions and carbs needed to do so.

And yes I only got back on the average 55-60%, but didn't care

Good Luck with whatever route you choose
