My humblest apologies - my "color commentary" was never meant to be offensive.  But I stand by my statement that you won't lose it in the parking lot!

We're ALL cheering you on, and if the Monte or the Malibu doesn't distract you, I think Maxton is a very realistic goal.

We have 3 girls and they wouldn't mind it painted pink !!!! No offence taken here !! I have been taking pix with my cell phone , they don't show colors very well !! And my digital camera seems to take to large of a image to down load .But I love to show our progress on Landracing.com  This site has been so helpfull as stated before ! We are going to try and get it outside tommorow , it's not supposed to snow !!!!! But our weather people have been wrong before !!! While we are waiting on the motor ,I might go ahead and get some lettering cut and put on it !!!

Got to love a blizzard !!!! When you really just want to go get something done !!! If you don't like the weather in Indiana ,just hang around a couple days it will change !!!! Well I'm sending in my entry fees for Maxton tommorow morn.  So it looks like we get to try it out before Bonneville !!!!

Gotta love these midwestern winters that just won't go away.  Keep it between the fenceposts, Hoosier Hotrodder - it should be warmer when you get to Maxton.
