Hey Joe,
Glad you replied to the SYC site and the response you got is well deserved. You and your Nova are exactly what this hobby is all about. Not many guys have the car they ordered new, dragged raced and cruised in the day when these cars ruled the streets. Your still doing it in the same car today! When was the last time you ran the Nova at the drags? Also, please put the tow brackets back on the car. Just remember who's in line for the Nova! See you at one of our hangouts. We'll never growup and thats a good thing.
Later Buddy,
Dave L.

Thanks for "turning me on" to this site Dave!! The last time I raced the Nova was at California Speedway in Fontana on August 30, 2003. Wow, how time flys. It seems like yesterday. Anyway, all I wanted to do was get into the 12's again. About the only thing different with the car compared with the "old days" was that I had to run it corked up. After a few runs in the low 13's, in the heat of the day, I ran a 12.93 at almost 106, after the sun went down. I was stoked to say the least. I do have a little video of that day and some old super 8mm converted to DVD of Lions drag strip. I'll work on those photos for Bruce real soon.
