Tom, wow.....I love the sprint !

Back in 2011 we were racing our sprint at the Knoxville Nationals, I had a older gentelman checking out our new body wrap. He told me he has a 1961 sprint that he and others were having a exhibition race during intermission. I was very excited to see it. He told me to get in and try it out, so I did. lol A couple minutes later they pushed me backwards to he said to get it fired up for a heat cycle. When I got back he said he wanted me,.....to hot lap it !

What a great man, and it was a riot to race !
Although,....it really got me feeling just how open ans scary,.....these guys raced. Today, we are cacooned in the seat like a NASCAR driver, not back in thoee days !

Most people don't know, that the driver was actually better off to be thrown out of the car in a accident than to be belted in.

Great job in setting the record !
Car looks great.

I'll get back to you shortly.
