    I went to the "local" drag strip which is about 3.5hrs away from me, on Saturday. I watched my buddy Andy run his Comet (9.958s). On the way home, I took a different route and spied a 74 sitting in someone's backyard. It is a V8, Floor Shift, Bucket Seat car with Factory Aluminum Slot Wheels and Maverick Center Caps. The owner wasn't home, so I don't know much else about it. I didn't look underneath or anything, as I didn't want to over-stay my welcome with nobody home. I left them a note, so hopefully he contacts me!

    Yeah, but the patina would look so nice with clear coat!

    This clean Mav was in the backround of this picture at the Bradenton Fl dragstrip website. They were featuring the Jr. Dragster winner in the front. No word on the Mav winning something, but this spot is where the evenings winners are photographed. Maybe Dad races the Mav and jr. races the dragster ....
