CONGRATS CHRIS and DANNY!

I think the old man deserves a hair of credit since Chris had to “borrow the car”. Hopefully Chris brings it back cleaned up with a full tank of gas LOL




FYI: Chris is still looking for a IA-2 Block if anyone has a extra one laying around, please PM Danny Estep
For info

There are a lot of BIG money bracket races out there you don’t need a heads up car to win money!

It was great watching Chris going each round. It was fun pulling for a 70 GTO. Congrats Chris.

Yesterday I called "the old man" (Danny) and heard the whole story 2nd hand. Chris took out some "heavy hitters" with the likes of a .007 pkg. Against a 4.50 dragster if I remember the story right ? And yes other racers pitched in and pulled the oil pan looking for a problem. Car and driver were deadly consistent.
That youngster has an awesome teacher !!
