Bad Penny
 

Anyone know what's up with Bad Penny/ Haven't herd much about it in the magizines and on the Autocross circuit,OUSCI, What ever happened to the monster motor that was getting put in it, did it get finished:question: :question:

Penny has been out and about doing her thing. Steve has mostly just been too busy with life and work to act as Penny's full time publicist. I remember he was waiting on brakes for a while, but after getting them he has been out having some fun driving the wheels off the car. At Silver State he won the coveted Hooker's Choice award, as well as an Optima invite. Most recently he had the car out at RTTC.

I saw the pics at RTTC and he recently sold off another set of Forgelines and mentioned an upgrade. It has got to be the coolest 68 ever built.

He posts more frequent updates on Facebook

Thanks
 

Thanks for the info and update guys. :thumbsup:

Thank you.. I will pay you in lunch for being my spokesman :)

Long Story short: My wife and I began the process of being Foster parents early in the year.. it took a lot of training and our hope is to eventually adopt (from THIS country). We had two boy for 6 months but the mom lawyered up and got them back.. such is life.

As for Penny she's been lots of places.. I ran her in Nebraska at the Sandhills Open Road race where she went 172.4 mph in the mile. Drag raced her in Pomona (11.6 124mph) but couldn't hook in the high heat. Drove here Ely, Nevada last month for the Silverstate classic and then drove her home. Ran her at the RTTC event, but I'm having a slight clutch engagement issue.

Right now I'm getting her ready (installing a floater) for her fifth showing at SEMA and she won an invite to the Optima Invitational, which should be loads of fun. Just moved to an 11-inch rear wheel and 315 tire (Falken).. should be better balanced, but I need to reset the car.

Hey, how many cars have an OUSCI trophy, a Wally, and a Hooker's Choice trophy????? LOL

After SEMA I might be selling her to fun some new projects.. which sucks since I love the car, but I like creating and I can't justify having two expensive cars in the garage :)

I wish I had time to hit more events, but I'm so buy working doing car stuff that I sometimes don't have time to do personal car stuff.

Yea, it's faster and I can do it on the run with my phone :)

Steve - -glad to hear Penny is still getting put to good use.

Best of luck to you and your wife on your quest to expand the family.

Best of luck Steve
