Anyone have an ariplane they want to trade for a race car? I'm headed back to flying. General avaition Sport Flying is very attractively priced.

I'm sticking with the stocker motor but will make some changes to see how far I can "hang it out". So many "what ifs" to explore.
Trust me, I know all about the IHRA...3 times better than NHRA IMO. However I don't want to hold my breath too long. It was a sacrifice I prepared for when moving back out here.

I lived in So. Calif. all thru the 80's and the dragstrips slowly faded away.
As hooked on bracket racing as I am now, I cannot imagine how miserable it is out there now for a drag racer ! I'm glad I live where I can race twice a week if I wanted to. Good luck Gary on your new venture. P.S.--love that video of your car warming up. I'm building an 89 5.0 Coupe Stocker right now and watch your video to pump me up !

I can relate,a few years ago I built a new engine, 4 new tires, new belts, then l lost interest overnite.
Keeping busy in my shop at home, the economy and having the freedom of a lazy weekend made the decision easy. But when I get the bug again, my car will be ready to go. ![]() |

Don't kid yourself, Gary; the "Impound Area" can be plenty tough. If you make it into "the pen" at Bonneville, I'll be there waiting.
