[Convette]

Thanks so much for all the support guys. Scotty and Val especially for being amazing hosts for my wife and I. This week has been exhausting to say the least. We've met a lot of amazing contacts, and should be well set up for next year. This event is going to be amazing for us and our cars. I can't wait and will keep you posted. It will be televised on mav tv, (they've taken over a lot of speeds old shows).. I will let you know when. The show has been great, ppl love it as always. Another dream come true with my old 88. It's been tough for us for sure, but can not wait to get on the track and kick some rich dude butt. Pics to follow.

That's what I love the most. Reminds me of my mom. She had a 69 cougar and would drag race any richy kid in daddys car she saw.

Same here, when I used to auto-x the Green car. That thing looked like butt but I would beet the rich kids in thier vets and beamers by 10+ seconds, the look on thier faces was priceless. John, you have taken that "look" to a national level, thats freaking awesome! \

That's a very unfriendly time schedule! I think both the car and John willl need some high octane.
