I drove the car for a few years switching to a 383 , 727 and nos. 21 or 22 tickets in one year later it was time to race the car or put it back to a mellow driver. At 17 or 18 years old I cut the car up to make it in to a race car. < dumb a$$. I thought it would be no big deal. Little did I know, you need money to do a deal like that, lol. I drug the shell around for 10+ years before I could aford to work on it. Everyone said sell it, crush it, you will never finish it. In 97 it won Best under constuction. And in 99 I ran the car for the first time. My first real race in the car I went to the 5th round of the Halloween Classic and won the Nightfire the year after. Since then I have won many races and I've had so many great times in that car. I just won a Div race and got my Wally after years of wanting one so bad. Thats my: That was then this is now story.
