(fiberglass ones were unpainted)

I did a "Rick" I got to the top end and hit the throttle twice and let her back around. Lost by. 003 in the 4th rd. I should listen to what I preach to Rick all the time. Trust the car. Lol

Haha!! Yes Brian and Rob, it's all one color. I had to put my old steel fenders back on after a pit incident with the old gray fiberglass fenders. They fit right in with the rest of the car. They look good from the stands. That's about all I can say about that.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the comments. I've a good last couple of weekends. Memorial Day Weekend I went to Eddyville Raceway Park and won their big bucks race on Saturday. This last weekend I double entered at Coles County Dragway on Saturday before losing my last entry at 6 cars (round 7) by .002. I made 13 passes Saturday. That double entering is a LOT of work. I even kept my wife busy giving her extra jobs to be able to make back to back passes every round for 5 rounds. Lol! Keith did well and lost 4th round. He left Saturday night to head home. I was out of fuel so he left me 10 gallons to get me through Sunday. I couldn't have done it without him. I made a total of 22 passes in those 2 days. So much for the brand new slicks I started the weekend with!
