    Well, we did it! In spite of the car running like a bag of dicks, we pulled off winning a Wally at Maple Grove Raceway. Proud JR Street Dad right here!

    So where is the rest of the Buick?
    Congratulations on the Wally.
    So is this a family team? If so that is the Best in my opinion.

    Blessed! Nothing but issues that made it all the more satisfying! 1st qualifier run was a 9.04 with a .005 light for the bye into 1st round. Second qualifier? Carb issues..10.20 something..ugh! Emotional roller coaster with a 15 year old for sure!

    9.04 is very impressive with iron heads! What does the car weigh?

    If you're ever out cruising, and see a rowdy sounding 1977 Cadillac Coupe deville, that would be me.
