Default I saw MR BLUE 66 at the TRACK !!!

This car is cool.
I have seen several times before on the WEB... I finally got to see it run. And meet the man behind the car. Nice guy.




That is me...


Car went 11.4 @ i think it was 117. Should run way better than that...however he just got it back on the street. Seemed to be very rich. I am sure 10 seconds time slips are only a good tune way.

TRULY a unique RIDE !!

Mr. Blue was even kinder to me. He gave me the grand tour of Daytona one day and the Kennedy space center the next. Then I hung around Florida for the Shuttle launch.

I think that the big problem with that Vette is putting power to the ground. It can't get a 10 second run without traction. Because it has the power

That is great! One of my favorite corvetteforum cars. Last post I remember was around the Hot Rod Power Tour time last summer and the car was having problems and not even running, so it is nice to see it run down the dragstrip!

Great to see he plays with it! I met him in TX on when we had our cars on the deck of the US Lexington for *Vettes and Jets on the Lex" last year. Nice guy!

It would help if he did a better burnout.

+ tax..... the few runs I've seen the car make, there is no chassis/suspension/weight-transfer going-on:
the car runs as-well-as it does based solely-on it's ability to make HP.

GORGEOUS & unique car!
