A totally low budget car, it ran faithfully on 93 octane premium unleaded and was a serious contender at the local strip, in 5 years of racing I posted 8 overall wins (money runs between class winners), 12 class wins, and so many runner-up finishes I can't remember them all. Still have the car but have only raced it twice this year after a 4 year hiatus but took it to the semi's the first week and was runner-up the second week.
That is me with the car after a day's race, pic was taken in 1999.
Sorry for the fuzzy shot, camera operator was a little tipsy!
