Nope, 2002. He won three Pro-Ams with it. He won so much with it that a bunch of people put up the money to have him torn down. Got tossed for a completely stock, out-of-the-box cylinder head that had a part number that wasn't in the Guide (which was later verified as a correct part # that had just been omitted from the Guide for whatever reason... too little, too late. He owned up as his fault as he should've checked and not taken parts books for granted.) Good 1/8th mile car, never fell out of a tree in the 1/4, hence the wagon rent-a-ride. He later sold it to Terry Dye, who eventually sold it back to him. Tim still bracket races it on rare occasions. Tidbit o' trivia, he was the 2000 NHRA Sportsman ET National Champion, driving his Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I think we FWD guys have hijacked this thread enough. I'm starting a new thread.
Please post pics there.
Thanks
