    Joey 56 at Wichita Falls Raceway

    Here is video someone took this past weekend at a Grudge Race. This was off the trailer and was able to pick up the time after some tuning. Car still has plenty in it...but it sure surprised a bunch! I was told people that knew the car made some money! lol

              That sounds like quite an impressive goal, what does car weigh with driver on board.

                        Looks great! I like especially like the top photo where you're melting the tires. You got a roll bar yet?
                        When you get one, let me know and I'll bring my helmet. My life insurance policy is paid up and I wanna go for a ride.
