    Well, I didn't win:cry: But I did make it to the final 16. Got beat by .0003, closest race in Pinks history. If you catch the Bristol episode look for this car[​IMG]

    Hay ... that's not a Maverick (he said with disappointed)

    Nice car anyway ... please don't tell me there's a Chevy under the hood, I'll be utterly mortified:cry:

    The mustang is owned by MDS Motorsports, (a.k.a our race team) eventually dad will drive it , but for now, i'm getting the bugs worked out of it. We bought it with the current motor in it and that's the only thing that I didn't change. Put a moly 12-point in it, new transmission, thru the floor sub-frame connectors. I'll be doing a mini-tub soon and then i'm gonna turn dad loose with it. It runs 9.90's, no juice, but we slowed it down to 10.1's for pinks.

    Congrats on the final 16, was watching the episode at Norwalk in Ohio today and there was a lady with an old Pacer wagon I've seen race before that won, it had a chevy motor unfortunatley but it was still pretty cool. I'll be looking for ya on tv...

    Wow! Congrats on making it that far. I'll be watching for the episode. Send us a reminder if you think about it just before it comes on.
    I made it to a top 16 in an Armdrop Live event with Rich this past March. It was on an 1/8 mile track. Was a lot of fun. Hope they decide to do it again.
