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.
