Just another dumb thought-driving a race car?
Well, as I contemplate this project, after the rebuild of my Nova. A real thought occurred to me. The last time I had this car together, I only ever made one test pass in this car. I had a buddy do all the driving and I was content to turn wrenches and tune on it. That was in the late 80's.
1978 was probably the last time I made a competitive pass down a drag strip! I was much younger and likey had better reflexes then. It certainly won't be this year before I get it out and if I'm luckey, maybe sometime next.
I doubt I'll be the last old duffer to try this though. Imagine I'll look mighty silly the first few passes. Got months of work ahead before this becomes a reality.
My old friend wants back in on this and I'm happy that he and I can do this. This time I want to drive it some. I reckon early on, I'll be the easy win for someone.
