I can't say but i can say it's pretty impressive for what it is

Especially for a Ford.

I know I'm going to pay for that later.

*Ford truck engine. Let's be honest. Still, more than I'd have guessed knowing what it's rated at. Gives me hope for my mgm if I ever decide to do anything more than bench race it.

I like the gentle use of color. There'll be more color once you add the number panels and sponsor decals.

If me, I'd ask for permission to run the required windshield banner down at the leading edge of the hood. Generally, over the headlamps. Or, run the windshield banner just above the headlamps (going across the yellow.)

I need those wheels for my next challenge effort. That car looks amazing.

... but, if there is more vinyl, add more. The magazine likes color. They say black is not good for magazine covers, and, certainly, this is cover photo worthy!

Somebody done stole FTD from Andy this year. Been watching the timing, did not see that last run coming! Wonder who drove which runs.

Hot damn Gumby. That's one helluva car. Let's see what the drag strip does tonight.

FTD is in the books. Mike Casino drove the 3 pro runs. I ran the first. Chris B made the next two. So much to digest and explain because it's been one crazy day.

In reply to John Welsh :

That is exactly how it felt in the shut down of the dragstrip.

In reply to gumby :

Were you running drag slicks at low pressure? Feels like the rear is on a water bed. That, and the fact that the track is/was pretty rippled in the shut down area making everything shake.
