For the past few years, we have been running w/ the Southern Slingshots group, although not an actual member, they let us run as field filler, when they had low car count. They are a FED nostalgia group, and just got a new owner... Spoke w/ him today and... We are full fledged members now, they opened up the rules to allow period correct funny cars into the mix !! :mrgreen:

I'm home and still in one piece !! That was so much fun... I smell like spent Methanol and Testosterone, an excellent vintage !! I can see the appeal of the Front Engine Dragster now. I am honored that Carlo trusted me to bring his baby to life. Car has not run in 4 years, I had never seen it before, so we got a test light and figured out what all the switches do, primed the oil system, added fresh fuel, and Kaboom !! It sprang to life with a huge fireball... Fuel leaks and crossed plug wires... Not a good mix... Got it straightened out, and it runs good. Unable to drive due to split fuel line, but we made a parts list, and I will be back !! 😎
