Yeah I'm really excited, said last he heard the guy he sold it to raced it a little at Maple Grove which kind of disappointed him. But said he never saw or heard of the car after that, until he got a letter in the mail from me early last week. But he still had framed pics of it on the wall of his house .

Your going to have a great time bringing the car back to the OO. In my case it wasn't the OO but was the surviving son of the 2nd owner who raced it BITD. It is the highlight moment of my ownership of the car.
