[QUOTE=ron mattson;230826]No new car but a couple of fresh bullets and one new one in the works, but my big
news is my little buddy, well once little now as big as me gets to take the seat this
coming year. The little guy followed me and went to the track with me for the last ten
years and came with his mom before that, i have to give the staging gals at BIR a
lot of credit as they basically babysat him between rounds when i would run. The
smile on his face or the what happened look when he gets back from his first run will be
priceless. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!!!!

Jon Jr. is putting motor in his 1980 Dodge Aspen R/T next week. It is Paul Rossi/Larry Harrell's old Record Holding Stocker from early 1980's that has been stored for last 25 years. It is original paint and graphics unrestored like it was last raced. It is large valve HP 318 combo that will run in SS/MA with a bunch of old school stuff he dug up in shop or bought second hand. This is in addition to his 318 stocker not to replace it.

There;s an A/Mod that just rolled out of Karl Lampkins shop in Toledo. 05 grand am with schmidt power. I think will debut at Gainseville. I know it certified to 6 flat.

Not a "new" car; (new to me), and no doubt familiar to Div. 2 folks. We plan to have a lot of fun with this Mustang in E or F/SA. Scott Bailey's former ride will see lots of CAN AM Series action, plus some events in Div1 & 3. Thanks to Alex, Tony & Beth at MoneyMaker Racing for their help with suspension and brake upgrades......plus Ford secrets that may never be divulged!

Older technology 4 link fiberglass spring suspension in this 65 Belvedere 1. Picked up
most of the major parts for a hemi today. But it will be a while. SS/DA car with a 4 barrel race hemi.

Looks like we will be out testing in late January so will post ours here also...

That is very sweet, Carl! I love dinosaurs. Especially in red.

I am putting this '77 Olds Starfire GT together for stock. Right now the drive train is out and the interior is completely stripped, only the steering column/wheel is left. Next up is subframe connectors and some floor repair. Paint / body work will be next winter. Hoping to have it running this year for some check out passes. Looking at V/SA to get my feet wet with a Buick 231 V-6 for power.

Frank, I'm right in the thick of the "Best Engineered" portion of this build. The stuff where folks go how did you do that? or Why did you do that? or what does that do? LOL Actually, I'm repairing all the little stress cracks that seem to be unending. But it's on the rotissorie, so now is the time to do it and do it right. Once I get paint on it and back on the frame, I think it will move along swiftly. The tough stuff has been long done, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully it will be done early enough to get some real good seat time this fall. I'm just hard headed and must do all of the build myself.....design, engineering, fabrication, body, paint, plumbing, wiring, etc etc. That's just how I believe hot rods should be done. Anyway, I believe it fits in "L" naturally, but who cares....as long as there are no DPs and CJs untill the eliminator.
