Yes Kendall -- that same Alex! He went with me to the Challenge... said it was the best day he'd had all year!

He loves cars - he just never did really understand what his Daddy was doing down in the shed... (not that I do anything like what was racing there!) But I think he gets it now!

:>)

Glad you made it home in good sted! That's a long drive. I took almost 3 days to "wind" my way back. Stopped and BS'd with Roger @ Ironworks... Made a couple of other "buddy stops"... all good -- nothing ever wrong with a good old fashioned "road trip"!

LOL - the Speed Stop Challenge (0 - 60 - 0) was a trip... on my first pass the gizmo that was supposed to tell me I hit 60 didn't work. I was getting worried when I hit the first of the skid marks so I said forget it and got hard on the brakes... turned out I hit 85. Still stopped pretty good but damn - blew that one big time.

Funny thing was that Jody joked about it in the staging lane and actually eyeballed the speed pretty close - he must have been a cop in another life.

Super Chevy shot a feature on it for a future issue and that's the car they "followed" during the competition.

Very nice car and the owner is pretty cool.

That Chevelle was pretty awsome, he was really moving on the course & then something happened with the engine(possible bearings). Great build

Yep.... I helped 'em push it onto the trailer.... so it couldn't make it under it's own power. BEAUTIFUL car! Really nicely done. Lots of cool detail.

That car was awsome.Really nice.My only complaint was, it was only 1 day.Went by so quickly. There was no time to meet everybody or see everything. NEEDS TO BE TWO DAYS JIMI DAY.
