Nice car! Congrats to Mary on PB! Drive there, run near mid 8, then drive home ...my idea of a street strip car.

Hello Marty, Glad to see "Fred" going so fast for Mary.

8.55 is getting it for a real deal street car.

Hope you had a great Christmas and are having a Happy New Year.

Tell Mary and Mary Lamb I said hello.

Congratulations
Wicked street car!! Everyone wants to know your combo, I want to know what you did to the rear suspension. I have a 70 a body. That thing has got to hook great. Any pointers will be appreciated!
Congrats!
