    Read the paper this morning and saw car show in North Little Rock. Drove over and entered in the 68-78 stock (minor mods allowed) and got second. I've entered two so far and am batting .500

    Winner was a great looking 70 red malibu. Didn't get a photo with mine in there but here's part of the field. Pretty fun getting a trophy so I'm kind of getting the "bug" to enter more often.

    By the way--------check out the cool rat-rods in the back row.

    What was that other Maverick in that picture? You can see it in the background, it's flat black.

    Good eyes spotting the 73 Maverick in the background. It's race-only. My racing lingo is just enough to remember he's got a 460 wedged in there with quite a bit of well-done engine bay fabricating. Stupid me should have taken extra batteries for the camera cause I got off about 4 shots before the idiot light on my camera came on.

    Said he regularly ran low 6's in 1/8th mile. He did me a favor and cranked it up----suh weeeet:thumbs2:

    Looks like a fun time.

    If your camera batteries run low, and the camera has a monitor on it, shut that monitor off if possible ... that is a huge battery drain. Just use the viewfinder (old school-style ... :dancing:).

    I shot about 70 pics at the Gatornational drags that way, with the camera claiming that the batteries were on fumes. :thumbs2:
