Yes, that's me. I got a call from the author 6-8 months ago asking me about my car. They said they were trying to make an article on competitive budget cars at the Ultimate Street Car events. I wasn't told what magazine it would be in since it wasn't for sure. I assumed Car Craft or Hotrod...
I still stop by every once and a while to see whats going on. I'm on pro-touring.com more regularly since I like the resto/performance angle there. Really into Autox, especially with the addition of the CAM class in SCCA. I have some big changes planned over the Christmas break. I will try...
Thanks for the nice replys. Just FYI, I lost that contest, but have a second chance to win with the end of year roundup. If anyone can help (Have to already be a registered member at pro-touring.com), please do. Thanks for the support.

Are You Driver Enough Contest #3...

Thanks for the help everyone. Made a lot of disappointing calls yesterday to various swaybar places. Not really surprised by this but I did get email back from carolinaswaybar.com(refered by Addco). They said they can make a bigger sway bar if I provide mine for a template for $250 hardware...
Hey guys, long time no chat.
Well I'm back into auto crossing and have been competitive locally in the new scca class called CAM(Classic american muscle). I had to fight to move the cutoff year to 78 and everyone forced me to add ballast up to the 3000 lb minimum (was 2870) . So to get better...
The reason I have the rear flares was that I used to have 275/50/15 tires in the back and flaring allowed me to lower the car with that width and offset I had at the time. Then I discovered that sticky tires do better then big tires. Sticky tires that are DOT legal in 15 inch rim only go up to...
I still have it. Was going to ebay this weekend.
6.26"x49"x50.5"
About 28 pounds.

Had this for a year and never got around to installing it. Now that I'm married, I need the money and the room. This is a custom Showcars Bodyparts 75-78 "bolt-on" hood. I have over $500 in it. Would like $350obo + shipping.
let me know

Thanks for the link. Thats cool that they uploaded my story. All I can say is that it was a dream come true. Not only did I get in a magazine, I kicked some azz. Wish I could have that feeling everyday. Thanks for reminding me.:nice:
