Default Big Red

Is Big Red still racing now or is it stored up somewhere? The Big Red web site hasn't been updated for a long time. What's happened to the car? Does anyone have any stories or photos of the car either parked or racing that they could post up? Thanks guys.....Nige

Getting to see it last year on the track was cool. It sounds wicked, even though it was not running well, you can bet when it does it hauls A.

What I heard of it is that it got accidented while filming FnF... Such a cool car ruined by such a lame movie. If it's true bad luck :S .
