I obviously don't get out to the race tracks as much these days as I use to until I hopefully can get back in a sprintcar or midget around here. But I'll definitely ask around and see what I can find. By the way...what's the reason you are looking for that car?
Hey, welcome to the board Jimmy. You are among friends here (mostly). I've always been a fan of yours and could find me in the stands cheering you on, be it midget, sprint, SC or IndyCar. You have been missed at Indy the past few years and hope to see you again in the race sometime.
I'm not sure why they were asking about the car.
I think my recollection of that car pushing so badly that you walled it at Lanier years ago is correct, no? Was that you?
Come back to IOW often and let us now what is going on with you.
Cheers.
