That car doesn't run the numbers it used to when Scooter had it.

The new owners probably "fixed" all the stuff that was wrong with it.

I know of a engine that my engine builder built that was tearing up the country for awhile until "all the wrong parts and machining" was fixed. Lost about a 1/4 of a second and now ain't so bad!

I catch a little heck for "slowing" my stocker down....funny thing is a few weeks ago I walked a past the barn with doors open.....both my stocker & bracket car had an 8.00 dial-in on the back glass......(stocker would be .700 under with that dial)(1/8th mile)

That car is still pretty cool, but when Scooter worked that car, it was probably the baddest Chevy 2 Stick car on the planet. No disrespect to the current owners. It would have been hard for anyone to improve on it after he had flogged on it.

I get the feeling a few of you are saying Scooter was cheating. All i know is when Stan bought that car he blew up the number 1 engine it came with. That's what i was told.

Ed, remember us talking about Gordon in the staging lanes at Houston? Gordon & Scooter are/were buddies. You need to make that call we discussed.
