Thanks David!

If I have the "right" kid, I usually ask them if they "want to get behind the wheel". This young lady was one of those "right" kids - and the Kids Club had a face painter (free of charge) for the kids that night too.

Her face "demanded" she get a chance behind the wheel...

Going around the water box at Steele Alabama's quarter mile YEARS ago. I was running 225/70-14's all around. I had a shot as I left the line and one of the car beside the time/speed sign but I've managed to delete them some way or another. I do have the time slip though. 13.31 @ 103.79 with a 2.04 60 ft.

Yup, the pressure plate seized up on me in Denver when I was driving out to Bowling Green in 2013 so failed to make it with the car. I took last year off, and I just re-cammed the engine this summer (it got a new clutch set a few months after DW 2013) and stuck the engine back in last weekend with my DW2015 golden ticket in hand ready to go.

Wow, awesome car!!! Do you know what that specific color is called????

I've been keeping track of a 70 GTO same color, just sits, never driven. Looks as good as yours. I asked if I could have first crack at buying it......if ever......
