Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Greg.
Sounds like the outing was a success, nonetheless.
You'll wonder how, and WHY, you ever raced without radios.

Hey Greg congrats on the success of the new set up in the stang. So sorry i missed you up at the T-Hill Shelby run (family duties take precedent over mike duties lol).

Looking forward to running with ya soon (well, behind you now lol)

Sorry to hear about your friend, looks like you'll have a sweet reminder of what friendship is to look at....

Love the new ride!!

ZZ Top --- and that's pretty much what the new '33 is styled after.

Nice car once I fixed a few things - like actually got the 8 stack EFI working properly!! It's the little things....

They worked great! I just didn't really know what to expect...but they're very helpful. Of course it also helps when you have Sutton on the other end... It's pretty much his first time at racing.

Just fast enough to be in front of an Orange Camaro. Done! Good enough! LOL

Wienie! Family is replaceable - race dates aren't.


Stan was a really good friend -- the car is good memories.

Sorry about your friend Greg. Great progress report, sounds like now it's down to just the fine tuning. Well, and tuning the driver. lol...

Best weekend EVER of tracking the car.... While you wasted your time in Lost Wages watching the worst fight of the century... We sat around the TV (okay it's a little small but it worked!).... watching the "non fight" ... BBQ'n... drinking...and making fun of you for not being there (at the track). LOL



From your "friends".....

I warned you about this way back at the bottom of page 104.
