Update, the Foster Racing TAFC is leading the points in it's division and is 7th in the country. Most of the cars ahead of them have claimed all their races for points for the season so if they can continue their performance they have a shot locking up the division points and making a run for the NHRA championship.  We're working on drawings for a complete new car and sourcing parts already. It appears I'll need to make some room in the shop again.

Congrats Don, that is good PR for you...Larry

 We just got an inquiry from another tuner about a new chassis in his future. We need to get our tools and jig together. And a XL bottle of argon.

Looks as though you may have the start of a great second career!   btw, the Golf Cart, Plastic Maggot, Scooter on Steroids (whatever one chooses to call it)has been a great daily commuter-thanks again....Larry

I liked that bike, I bet it's better with the windshield.

A windshield, to me, is a must for a daily commuter.  I just put a 1984 VF700 Sabre back on the road after many years of sitting neglected.  Bike was free and part to repair was 2.50(not a misprint btw).  If I can find the HOndaline fairing and bags I may sell the PC and  use the Sabre. Larry

 We have another funny car to work on this winter and some updates for the first one too. We're doing a front half, new cage and seat, moving motor foreward and possibly up.

 Last years car gets some rear half repairs and new steering linkage.
