Couple pics from last weekend when I got to make my first ever pass in the Corvair rear engine funny car !! Took it easy, ran 6.21 @ 113+ MPH, planned to run again and really step on it, but a pesky oil leak ended our day

New sponsor decals have arrived !! Big reveal coming soon, we're running at Orlando Speedworld on March 26th at the 2nd Annual Drag Race for the Cure of CF, and will be wearing the new Sponsor proudly Also something on my 'Bucket List' was to run our car at the March Meet in Bakersfield, CA. Meant a lot to my buddy Ron Evans (RIP) to have me run there, was not sure how to afford it... Well my Friends at 'The Glory Days of Drag Racing' realized our new Sponsor covered us for local events only, and have set up a GoFundMe acct and are actively seeking donations to make it happen !! Of all the East Coast cars they could have picked to send West, they chose mine, I am truly honored 
Here is a link to help an aspiring racer (ME) fulfil his dream, Thanks, BackMotor Mike
