    Thanks guys finding out that the article was out was priceless. I was sleeping this morning and my 9 year old son Jake who most of you know cause he is at your trailiers begging for food lol was at the kitchen table thumbing thru the mag while eating breakfast before school. Took him 10 min to convince his mom that it was Dad`s car in the pictures she kept telling him he was wrong !! LoL . He enjoyed waking me up early to show me what he had found . I should be thanking Dan and Bob cause they never would have seen the car if they did not put this event on.. Hopeing I can get a copy of the drawing that is WAY COOL ..

    Thanks

    Paul

    Congrats Paul!:TU:

    About time you got some recognition with that car.
    Too bad the article didn't really put into perspective how QUICK that thing is moving, hauling that much WEIGHT.

    That car is a sneeze away from the twelve's. Very impressive.
    The 60ft time's are awesome, especially when you consider the WEIGHT and on top of that, the car is a STICK!!!!!

    Great car Paul.:TU:

    Nothing like making a National Mag and posing with severe Helmet hair LOL !! Thanks guys there is alot of thanks acorss the board on that car from the shop that did the paint and helps me keep it looking good 10 years after laying it down.. all the way to Donny Brass who was the lot Lizard that spotted it in that parking lot and dragged me to go look at it .. $2750.00 and 25 years later here we are.. yeah even 25 years ago he was still at it.. All of this has been a blast and fufilling a lifetime goal of having a spread in a big time mag like that is even better sharing it with the extended racecar family we have.. I thank you all for taking notice and commenting really . It is just awesome. I hope Jake my boy picks it up where I leave off one day. God knows he is worse than I ever was at that age with the cars .

    Thanks

    Paul
