    Yes Dennis I plan on having it ready for the roundup next year.....even painted...as for the street machines in Springfield Mo. Yes I plan on the car making it's first public apperance there (in primer though) I figure this year I need to enter a car :D looks like we will be having a decent turn out at the Street machines this year...........even that little Barney car from Ohio this year has called to confirm(y) and we may even have one of the Ky. boys too......I hope to here it run in two weeks.....ordered a new cam and lifters today and the guy that turns my cranks is picking mine up tomorrow to see if it needs turned or polished......I am planning on screwing the motor together this weekend. keep your fingers crossed ;)

    WTG, Robert!

    There's a shop here in Houston where they test launch the cars - right outta the garage! ha!

    They've done enough burnouts that they have a great pad (just add VHT). Crazy sunguns - but I love the idea.

    Keep us posted on the numbers!
