Anyone see the pic of my ole grey mare on facebook?
AmericanMuscle.com found a pic that Kevin Dunn (04sleeper) took of my junk back in like 06. It got almost 13k likes in a day, which is pretty neat, espicially for a car that's been motorless in storage for almost 5 years.
Anyway, here is the link if anyone didnt see it and cares to.

You have no idea. I shit my pants in that car at over 160mph on more than one occasion. Matt is a driving mofo and that car was a serious handful to drive - think riding a bull. lol.

Well my dad did used to ride sub-PBRA. Quit while he could still walk after getting both rear hooves to the lower back 6 months before I was born. Still has back problems to this day.

I think that is one of the scariest things a man can do his life. Right up there with getting married. It's funny how that comparison really fits..lmao.

I wonder at times, who would be alive today that made fun of my driving, if I had tossed them the keys to show me how it's done... 
It's one thing to build a drag car that hooks, and shifts super easily or has an auto... one thing entirely different to have a street car that's barely safe to go 100 mph in, with 5x the stock hp with nothing more than some nice shocks and wide tires to keep it going in one direction.
You gotta admit, she was more fun than riding a fast street bike. 
the cage should dull the squirly and shaking down some, and it was needed to keep the car from ripping itself the rest of the way apart.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

That was fun and scary at all the same time. Good times. Can't wait to see her back on the road. With the cage, chassis and the turbo kit it should be much more stable this time around.

You mean you tore it apart and got sidetracked with Vettes. Now all you have is a 27 year old chassis and a turbo kit sitting on the shelf. lol.
