Hey Sonny, still have your car? I just got the engine back for my vert after two years held up in machine shop torture. Looking to dip into the 6's before I call it quits but we mainly do half mile racing now.

The shop wars are all but gone, who has time for it anymore, but those were fun times though.

Do you even remember how to go fast?

Maybe we should just put your engine in my car... for safe keeping...

But really, Doug... you better let me know when you head for the track. I wanna be there.

6s in the 1/8 mile is no joke. Better have your seat belt on. Good luck

Most of that Died off in 2008 - 2010 before Edgar's departure. Now Raceway Park cancelled all drag racing activities so everything is just a distant memory. It was fun while it lasted. Met some great people along the way had some fun.
