A post from Tony







So it's time for me to put in something, The last few years have been exciting and joy filled mainly do to Carrie allowing me to go do a few things. Two years ago I was able to go to the Indy 500, witch was the most exciting in history, where Marco Andretti as a rookie almost won. Last year I was able to go to the Barrett Jackson collector car auction and help a friend by a "67 Corvette Stingray 427. A gorgeous car, the best one in the auction and on live TV at the height of the auction, Sat day. He got a great car for the money and I felt like I really helped out.



I started a '69 428 Mach I Mustang project that will be at least a 5 year project. I really taking three cars and making one. I will add more about that one another day.


I got out of vintage racing for the time being. With the kids and time and money constraints, I felt like it was the right thing to do for now. A guy in the Netherlands ( yes across the ocean ) bought it. I have received a few emails from him and he seems real happy with the car. I purchased a 07 Shelby GT mustang and with about 800 miles on it, tore it apart and did some upgrades with a supercharger and had a special program made for the engine management system. It made 470hp at the rear wheels ( that's 548hp at the flywheel ). Needless said I am enjoying it a ton. It makes a great Daddy mobile. Alright that's it for now, I'm a lucky dad because you couldn't ask for a better set of kids to be watching over.
