Thank you so much for saying that.

We kept it at 11.80's for a long time (trying to avoid putting a roll bar in it). Once we put the bar in it was on to 10.70's and 10.50's before the next big jump.

Did you know Elmo Hodges and Deb from the proving grounds? Debbie 18 at the time prowled the streets in her L88 70 or 71 stick Camaro.
