It should be able to run as a Junior Fueler in Nostalgia Racing, I would think??? Not sure, guess I'd have to reserarch it a bit...
I do know the car is moly, certified (don't remember what to, wish Richard was around!!!!!!!!)
I'd be getting it less engine and trans, have to be a Windsor in it for me, ya know!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Well, I guess I wasn't really expecting anyone to try to talk me out of it, Ken!!!!!
Never have raced a front engine car, made a few passes in them and really enjoyed it...Other then one pass out at Thunder Valley when I tossed out the right valve cover gasket!!!! But in it's own sick and twisted way, that was kewl too!!!!!
Way too old to get a ride in Top Alcohol, too broke to run a rear engined BBF injected car like my old one, but man, this thing looks like it would provide all the fun a guy could ever want to have.....!!!!!!!
What the heck kind of time does a guy have to put down to be competitive in the nostalgia events in a car like this???? Last Nostalgia event I was at was in the mid 80's, would imagine times have come down a bunch since then....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Dave, my Ex-GF said to me one time, "Honey, how many cars do you NEED?" I told her it wasn't a matter of how many I needed, it was how many I WANTED.
Yes, you should get that car. It would be a blast to drive and every time you fire that baby up and stage you will feel like Garlits for about 9 or 10 seconds.DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, DO IT.
Even a mild little Ford in there will put you in times you would have to spend big bucks on to achieve with a heavier, different style drag car. Plus it looks like it is really put together well.
You really didn't think a bunch of gearheads like us would tell you to pass on this deal, did you, and you KNOW Ken is a bad influence!

I can see you here Dave:

Several years ago we did quite a good trip of USA, and on our trip we got to meet Mike and Christine Frade. We didn't stay long with them, but in that relatively short time we both gained a great...
