Great pics of a great car, Larry. Wish I could have been there. Are you coming down for the Fallout in Eau Claire,WI ?

I've sent in the registration Bob. Haven't heard anything back from them but I'm planning to go.

Our local nostalgia racing group was asked to put on a show at the local drag strip. I was able to record the quickest and fastest run the car has made so far - an 8.41 @ 166 mph - in spite of having the car get out of the groove and having to pedal it to get things back under control. This was launching at 3000 rpm. So, instead of taking it easy, I decided to get greedy and launch it off the converter - about 4500 rpm. I can only describe the result as trying to ride a mousetrap!! The car stood straight up and turned sharp right!! The track photographer got this image of "Sheets" on the way down before running for shelter. Needless to say, there have been extensive suspension adjustments made. Hopefully we have the problem solved - exciting, but I really don't want to go on that type of ride again.

Looks cool to the spectators though [cl

It never gets old! Always a great thrill to get some recognition from the press. Thank you to Bill Swanson and Competition Plus magazine. Here is the link to a great article on the Fallout Drags held this past September at Rock Falls Raceway in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Nice coverage on your car and the event.

If you get any more famous you'll have to print up vanity pics of Sheets & Giggles, set up a table, autograph them for the fans.

I thought of doing that for my car just for sheets & giggles.

Here's a link to a video taken by a friend at a recent test session with "Sheets". We ran an 8.21 which is the quickest the car has gone so far.

Knock, knock, knockin' on seven's door.

Fantastic, Larry.

And so closes another chapter in my life as “Sheets” gets loaded up to go to a new home. Hopefully the new owner will have as much fun with the car as I did. Not sure if I’m happy or sad but I knew this day had to come eventually.

Larry, do you think you'll ever come down to the Fall Out Drags? It would be nice to get together.

I hope you didn't suffer the gigantic discount that used drag cars suffer. I see deals on Marketplace that are hard to pass up.

I’m thinking of coming down next year but it will depend a lot on how well my knee lets me get around. I can’t promise anything yet but if my travels bring me into your area I’ll definitely reach out. Might even drive down in that “furrin sporty car” I bought recently. Dang but that thing is fun to drive!

I didn’t make any money on selling the car but I did all right. The buyer got a bargain though.
