Looking To Throw Our Hat in The FED Arena Next Year

Still a lot of things need to happen before it comes to fruition, but here is the car. It has a 383 c.i. SBC with a powergluide. Looking to run NE1 at ANRA and perhaps other events.

Looking forward to run this as a two car team with our A/GS '57 Chevy.

No Jon we will not be ready as the driver will need to get his cross over license and we really haven't put the car down the track yet. It use to run 7.0 Pro but hasn't run in some ten years. We haven't settled on a driver yet, but am leaning towards Andy (who you have met) so long as he can loose enough weight to fit in the car. Andy also has a DRC chassis Bruce made him earlier this year that he is planning to build. I think you talked to him about that.

Regardless, we have not supported the Heritage Series and have no plans to do so going forward. We're not even planning on signing up for the March Meet again this year. We'll stick with the ANRA and will see what happens with Vintage 7.60 at Fontana. Also, Andy is a corporate pilot and has limited availability. Still a lot of things up in the air.
