Since my wife raced for the first time over Memorial Weekend, I decided to use my "off" weekends when I'm not out on the road, and take my 4-cyl FWD '85 Turismo stocker to Pageland Dragway so that we could both race. Pageland has a "Hot Rod Trophy" class that she can run the Turismo in, and I could race it in Modified. Saturday, I ended up winning Modified, and took out the points leader and three former track champs along the way! First win for me in the Turismo in 10 years. Okay, so it was on the back-burner injured reserve list for 8 of those years... but still it feels really special to win in the lil' car. This one's for John Weidner, who told me, "I don't know why you built that little *&^(box. You'll never string seven rounds together." Thank you for the inspiration, John.
Legal NHRA/IHRA Stock Eliminator car... still for sale, but if it keeps this up...
Special thanks to "The Master of the Dime Rockets", Billy Nees.
