Title: People like the old style cars
Post by: Dolmetsch on May 31, 2013, 03:54:43 AM

I was at the metal store yesterday buying some tubing for ladder bars for another project. The fellow I see there all the time Dudely, a good reliable person came out to talk as I picked up my order. Dudely is always at the Airfield when we run and sometimes at Shannonville too. He asked me what I was making . When told him a new race car he said "WHY?" People like the old FEDs Short long whatever doesnt matter to them apparently they just love to see them run. Nice to know they are still popular with the crowd who are BTW the ones who pay the track's bills in case any of us might forget.

Hey after 250 cookie cutter REDs anything new is welcomed. Plus its hard to beat the raw bad___ look of a FED with driver sitting right behind the motor and over the rearend housing.Just makes it look more on the edge to spectators.
