Glad you made it home alright Dave. Thanks again for the hospitality.

When Mike takes a picture, it's like it was taken from a step ladder.
I hate to bad mouth Trails cuz it's my home track and I go there all the time. I also appreciate very much that they support drag racing & open it up for us to race all the time when they're probly losing money on the night. Also, many of the staff members are terrific. It's just not real clean & it could use a sprucing up.... We have more fun running at an 1/8 mile track 40 minutes up the road.

Yep Mike is a really tall guy. I had my canopy set up so I at 5' 7" could walk right under, Mike's shoulders barely made under the frame. Matt and Mike standing under it talking was like they were in the cone of silence.
Drill a hole in the cap....
How about posting some pics of the EFI and other things you modded on this car. I'm thinking about the Edelbrock EFI for one of my Formal's.
Ross, you would love racing at my home track......MIR.

I'm hoping, I am also hoping to get my bang up 400 in my Challenger and get down in the 13s with 3.23 rear and full exhaust.
It wouldn't take much more to get her in the high 12's.
Love that 69 Imperial coupe - looks to be well restored. I thought I had the only factory FY1 top banana 71 New Yorker. That one has the road wheels and 440HP engine too it appears. Mine is different only in that it has a white interior and white sun roof. Glad to see another one that will live on. Mine will be restored soon I am hoping...............
Don't be jealous - just come by next time you are in Southern California and I will show you around the asylum. We will have a good time. Just ask Carsten, Chris and Scott! A friend of Carsten's will be here to visit on Thursday for example. And remember that with a lot of cars there is comparatively less time to enjoy each one, and maintenance is always a present issue....................
I have been to the Nationals twice, once at each location. The last time was at Indy, so it is well past due that I should go again soon. Would really like to see those cars.

Ross, I'm sorry I missed you this year. I was visiting with Mike and Dave which was great and just as I started to walk towards where they said your Imp was I got a call from the swap spaces and needed to get back to watch over the spaces while they were busy at the car corral. I never got back out after that on Saturday. Swap meet was busy, sold a bunch and spent some too. Didn't even make it to the car corral until Sunday, didn't really look at too many show cars and didn't touch my camera once. Spent the entire weekend in the swap meet which is my favorite part of the show. Weather was perfect the whole weekend.

Baby steps Bob and I still want to drive it up and back about 3 1/2 hrs each way. If I can get !/2 second into helmet territory the first time out it will be a success.
Roger that! Keep us posted.
Steve, can we see more pictures of your fleet and the beautiful building?
I have been a Mopar guy since I was 9 years old and I saw my first 1957 300C - it was all over after that. I even ended up being an engineer with Chrysler for 10 years, but hated Michigan. Loved the company though. In any case, I have had many of these cars for at least half my life and bought them when they were cheap. I knew the ones I liked early on. Now that I am retired finally, I can enjoy them much more. The new garage was the first step.
I have shown some photos of the garage and cars before but I will repeat them here for those that missed them the first time around. Always glad to welcome FCBO visitors. There are a lot more than the ones here in the garage, but you get the idea. There is a reason I call my place the asylum.
The last photo is the latest car I have sold to one of my friends in Finland, with me next to it.
