Brad, you should get it. It will most likely be cheap (relatively speaking) since it is blown apart, and it would be a lot of fun putting it back together and driving it. My plan is to buy a restored open car off some guy's widow, and hop it up as a traditional pre-WW2 style hot rod. :)

Jonathon - If I didn't know better, I would think the MN State Patrol SSP picture above was a vintage picture. Not sure if it's the camera setting, the scene, or both but has that "vintage" look. :cool:

I had a GREAT time at MIR on Friday. It was great to see the gang there from the Collective. The track was having a Super Stock night, so a lot of the cars showed up for Test'N Tune. There were easily a dozen show-quality vintage muscle cars running with us. Hemis, big blocks, Vettes - all wearing Poly-Glas GT style bias-ply tires and running 10s-12s. As for me, I made 8 passes, with the best being -

60' - 2.016
1/8 - 8.478 @ 84.99mph
1/4 - 13.027 @ 109.47mph


So the car ran exactly how I was expecting. I did not take any photos, but I will hopefully share some that the other folks took that day. :)
