It is very difficult to just walk away

That was a '70 AMX, 390 4-speed that was painted same colors as my Stocker. I restored that car and sold it at BJ in 2006.
Mark sold the Challenger to Jim Storms. Jim put an automatic in it and it is presently in the for sale section of this site. Jim made some upgrades and I have to think it's a beautiful car!

Stepping away sometimes lets you look at it from a different veiw, If you always do, what you always done, you'll aways get, what you've always gotten. Make alittle change and remember, Winners aren't quitters and Quitters aren't winners

You're six months too late.I was going to sell it.Didn't get a bite.
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?

[tim worner]

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.

There are only three events within a days drive from home that I can make this year so I am going to try more of the stock/super stock races just to keep cost under control. and like you I have all those spare parts and the car to deal with. Maybe we should convert the race cars to street cruisers and talk about how fast we once were! LOL Just my $.02 worth.

Mr E, those laps in the stroller don't count!!.......already got a nice pit spot at TMP picked out for y'all.
