Nothing so far. I haven't touched her since September.
Much has changed since then.

I hope there is a way I can compete this season, I just need to figure out a lot of things. Like working the throttle with hand controls and shift and steer.
An air shifter would take care of shifting but would put me in an 1/8th mile class and I'm a 1/4 mile racer.

Dunno If I would have to change to a PG, but there may be air shifters for 3 speed automatics.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I'm sure I can get a couple guys together and help get your stuff put together so you can go racing again.

I've got new yellow paint on my '65 Impala. I plan to paint some black stripes and get it lettered "Coffman Automatics"
Slattery plans to race my old dragster this year. It needs paint too, but probably will only get an oil change.
I really want to put another engine in my Challenger. Maybe slow it down for sportsman.
Dan Barber's car is on a lift in my shop right now it's a "50 Dodge 3 window coupe. He's putting a 408 Small block mopar with a torqueflite in it. We have to sort out the rear end, (9inch ford) adding a brace and staightening the tubes, then there's the front end, (mustang II) doesn't look to have any caster. I'll try to set it at 3 degrees.
I told Dan that he could run So-What till his car is ready. He really has the fever to race.
Sorry I missed the banquet this year,but I had sick kids.
later,
