Jeff, you already know how I feel about this and I hope you succeed in getting this done. Maybe this might shame the other two into doing the same. Hopefully they will eventually include more than just Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros.

Quite possible. They weren't very fast after driving over the crank

Guess I need to get out more. I've never seen one break.

Worth repeating.

I have to say it was very refreshing to see all the new cars at Indy battling it out and everyone so happy to be there doing it.

My next goal is to get more involved with the other brands, hint, hint.

David, does that hint hint mean you have the desire to flog a Cobra Jet ? If I remember you might have mentioned it sometime in past.

someone brought a dark colored COPO to the local car show in Franklin Square by my house yesterday. I was getting chinese food and I heard the most beautiful thunder,,,,,,
went out to see this. Got a lot of attention. No track on Long Island.

Was this driven to a cruise night or trailered to a show?
