Hi Ed, I want to go racing and Numidia will be first on the list for some testing after such a long vacation from racing, it's all about the money and I spend every penny I have down to the nickels, no secret savings account here. The new roof that was quoted at 5K needed to be sheathed which added 1900 to that price. I should be out in the fall, I'm running out of things to go wrong. Still need new ramps, trailer tires, SFI damper, seat belts, SFI flexplate and fire suit just to bring the Sport Fury out as is, my main racing goal though is to finish the Challenger.

I had a 6-71 run away on one of my fishing boats. We had a genius help us with the rebuild and he put the rack in backwards.
Stuffed rags in the intake and it slow but couldnt stop it. Had to hit it with a fire extinguisher. To finally stop it.
