Andy has turned you into a Quarter Mile Animal! Sounds like you are enjoying everyone of the 625 horses! That's why we love horsepower!

When I bought the car I wasn't thinking about Drag Racing, but once I got a taste for it, it has become very addicting.. Each time that I race, it is not about the other person, it is just me wanting to improve as a driver. I have the horsepower and now I have to learn to drive the car to get the tires to stick (Drag Radials will help). I learned alot at C5Fest I and have made several trips to the drag strip since then. I can't wait for C5Fest II !!

and yes, Andy at ADM Performance knows how to build a car, but it's up to me to drive it !!

Here are a few more pics after replacing the white stripes with red (by Big Worm Graphix).. My son took may car and washed it, outline the rear bowtie and wheels with red pinstripe. I also will be installing some red calipers later this week !!

I know that it's not perfect, but when I saw what he did when I got home, it makes me love even more to take time out of his day and do something he thought I would like..

When a son does something like yours did, it makes you remeber all over again why they are such a joy...

Looking Great there Keith... Can't wait to see you again... The mini-pre-Fest in Los Cruces is just around the corner...

Hey,

I know I tried like hell to run off and leave you on our way to Sealy, and couldn't do it... but, I'ld love to line up next to you on the track during test and tune in April... you'll probably blow my doors off, but I'm up for it... I'll try to make it interesting anyway...
