500mm lens and you can set clean across the shop and photo it. Learning is half of the fun of this sport even if you never do it yourself you have gained knowledge to understand what, why or whatfor.


Went to get the cow and she must be on vacation or she has caller ID and won't talk to me? Is there a cow's union or does she just think she is of the udder class?

Stuff like this really not about the money. I mean, I would like to spend that 250 elsewhere on the car but...

For me, it's really about gaining the satasfaction of doing it myself. I like to work on the old car.

Like i said though, this is a pretty important piece of the puzzle so she'll go off to the shop.

Yo, Doug......Check out the Draglist Nats Roll Call thread in the What's Up section......."Maybe" you could attend and meet some of this cast of characters

[jim sanders]

yep that would be cool to meet Doug and family in july at Eddyville..

Yup, it's with or without a race car. There is a Draglist contingent (me included) that's not quite ready to race yet. (A conveyance of some sort will be needed to get to the track). It's gonna' be fun.....
