And 2010 its ready to go back to Columbus for the 6th time! This year racing "Pro" for the first time, hoping for 13.00's all weekend long!
As the thread title says... this might be the farewell tour year for the car Don't get me wrong, it has been my favorite car for the last decade, old reliable! BUT I have a few other '87 P-bodies that need more attention and space and this one unfortunately has some cancer and some dents and needs a lot of TLC that I'd rather put into another car... So this one might A) become parts to save another B) Quick floor patch and turn into winter duty? C) Sold to someone who really, really wants a project? Who, knows...
