Got a few trophies, did the Hot Rod Power Tour, then it led to Roadracing....

Got expensive, so I moved on to 4 wheeling

But, the whole family is enjoying the truck!
It was a 350/Auto with no A/C. I was driving it daily to work. After 50+ days of over 100 in a black interiour I sorta lost interest in the cars appeal. It was my dream car and I really enjoyed. Then one day at a car show, some guy starts laying $1000.00 bills down on the hood. After 14 of them I said enjoy the drive home. I paid 10K for it 6 months earlier. Great return for my money. Always thought I would get a Big Block 4 spd car next....
Still have the T/A but have not Roadraced since August. Did complete the SCCA AutoX school, but don't plan to activly compete this year.

Yes, but it is to painful. It lives in Bartlesville Oklahoma now. I try to forget about owning that car because it's just to painful to remember. Sorta like when I was dating this girl who was featured in Sports Illustraded Swimsuit calander........
Anyway, It was a blast and I will build another one someday.
See Ya in Moab.
