We are currently working on Johns car harder and with more hours then ever. We still plan to have the car at Columbus. A lot of things have to happen before Coulumbus. I refuse to cut and corners that might affect the quality of the car, just to win a plastic trophy. I have slowed down the effort in My truck to get the Nova further along. The truck is supposed to be at Del Mar in April so I have time to spare and the Nova is supposed to be in Tracy's shop in April. So we are behind the 8 ball on it for sure. Are we getting there yes, I refuse to take the Nova to Columbus in any half ass form. It is about the car first and the plastic fireplace decor second. SO to answer your question, I hope so, I just bought a super deluxe trailer to haul both of these bad girls to Columbus to slide around the track.

Yea, my favorite PT car.. you can tell it's beat on by the burnt up headers.. lol

Bring her down to Fontana and we will put her through the proper tests

Beautiful car by the way...

Hard to believe the "donk" style has invaded the world of hot rods too! Ugh

That is awesome. I was hoping my first post would bring some of this out. Your car looks awesome. I think we would all love to see some video when you get it on the track. Going to Colombus with it? I would love to see it in person. I said in my first post for someone to prove me wrong and you stepped up. Maybe some of the others will as well. Again, sweet ride. Drive it like you stole it!

Roger,

It sounds like you've got a plan. I can't wait to see them. Has the price of "midnight oil" gone up as much as everything else? Keep up the good work. I wish we were closer to Tracy's shop. I would love to have our truck done there.

Later,

Might as well call it ProTouringofYear award.

I don't think a drag/pro-street car has ever even been in the "top 5." So I don't think the new rules are going to leave those guys out.
