     Larry,  Do you think we could get my car painted before talladaga?  It is a long shot. It may be possible for craig to drive his from oregon. He mentioned about stopping at my place to pic me up so If he gets me those parts or that is when I can get back to the USA and get started working on my car I may have a chance.

[moparstuart]

  you gotta bring it to talledega !   

[Howie]

Oh I am going to ALABAMA! alright. Drove there once to take pics of the 88 car and 71 car then drive home. Was worth the trip. I just hate their speed limit down there. Not liike the 75-85 we drive elsewhere.

Howie !!!   You never call..you never write. lol

I don't see why we can't get your clone finished before November, 2009. 
I wonder how many clones will be there?
I'm starting to visualize a convoy here.

i'm in ? but i think it's time to buy a trailer

[hotrod98]

Maybe we just need a support team. My ex-boss races in the Great Race and they always have a support team.
I think once you get the bugs worked out, your car will give you much less trouble.
Oh, and after bragging about my 71 Cuda, it almost didn't start this morning. Been sitting too long and the battery was low.

I already have a hitch on my aero car, i'll just leave it on there just incase.  Or maybe you can put one of those tow hicthes on the birdable like retired people do with their Geo's.

Allen I'll swap ya my running C500 for that non-running Daytona ya got parked in the garage.

Hey, I was gonna make him an offer like that....

I originally had "buy or trade for"... I guess the edit did not help avoid the opening that I left...   

I have been mulling two possible scenarios...

1) Trading my 70 Hemi `Cuda for a nice turn-key original 440 Daytona (OK... I'd take a Hemi Daytona too    )

2) Trading my 70 Challenger convertible for a NICE clone Daytona

O'course Superbirds & Charger 500s would be considered as well...    ...as long as the relative values were a good match.

A few pictures tonight...

More pictures...

[69_500]

Allen see post above yours.

Your wife would take out a contract on my head when you dragged the Daytona home... 

Last pictures for tonight... the third one is when I accidentally hit the zoom control...........

[hotrod98]

Thanks for the pics.
Who did you end up riding with, Allen?
I didn't try to get a ride for the parade laps because I want the first trip around a track to be in one of my cars. I figure that it will make it just that much more exciting.

I'm still waiting on a video or two, or three. I'm counting on the Sutton clan to pull through for us.

[moparstuart]

The little kid in the car is Ian my son

Who were the winners in the Wing Car and Ford Aero Classes on Sunday?

[Howie]

Larry,
        As soon as I get back into the country I will call. Got my nascar headers from cotton owens a couple of days before I left. Boy I cant wait to get back home and started back on the wingproject.

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Who did you end up riding with, Allen?

Rode in Dr Bill's Daytona... see attached picture.  As Stuart mentioned, he and his son Ian rode along too.

Who were the winners in the Wing Car and Ford Aero Classes on Sunday?

Randy Heide's 'Bird took first place in the Superbird class, but I don't remember who the other awards were given to.

I think it was Larry Peterson's WhiteTalladega that took first in their class but I might have that name wrong.  I'd recognize the gentleman again if I saw a pic.  Rick & Sherri Stanton took second.  Rick was a little confused with his award, since he thought the car was placed in the race car class rather than the Talladega class.  The show folks must have reclassified their car without telling them, but he was happy none-the-less.  The Stantons took home the long distance award, and Allen V. took the second-place trophy for distance travelled. 

Dan Printz's Y2 Daytona took first place, and I believe the McCauleys took third with their F5 green unrestored car.  I do not remember the 2nd place award winner.

I think DSAC took the club participation trophy, but I couldn't hear the speaker very well when they were announcing that award.  I know they announced the club name, and I think Jerry N. picked up whatever trophy was awarded.

[Mopurr]

Yes as I posted yesterday, DSAC got club participation Jerry picked it up & then handed off to us, I have to get it sent off to Doug.

Larry Peterson would probably be correct for Talladega 1st.....if Jim Wells had made it on Sat. it would have been very interesting to see which one of them would have gotten first....I think they trade off at the ford shows all of the time.

[hemigeno]

Dan Printz's Y2 Daytona took first place, and I believe the McCauleys took third with their F5 green unrestored car. I do not remember the 2nd place award winner.

After thinking about it, I believe DC.com's own Ken H. (moparnutty) may have taken second place in the Daytona & 500 class (they combined the two classes for the first time).

Great car, no matter what
