    thats me didn.t think i would make a street car site with a bracket car but the old maverick did. The old man that puts on the street car race is packing the house with the street cars & kids their racing sat night he will post pictures after the race take a look its amazing. This street car thing is the hot ticket. Im going down to check it out sat. Their will be some very fast 10.5 tire cars. I have seen some 7.12 over 200 mph 1/4 it was a mustang. This track (houston motorsports park sat is 1/8 mile

    Ivey, I'll be there Saturday for sure now that I know you're going!

    I've been to most of the Clobberthon's he (Joe Golden) has put on. As you probably are already aware, be prepared for anything.

    By the way, I can't visit the website because I am banned. Ha! Ha!

    Great pictures. The photographer (Scott Singleton I believe is his name) has an excellent camera and always takes good launch pictures.

    I'm disappointed that you won't be running your Maverick. A lot of people will be running their rides, just not in the event. One good thing about that track, they ALWAYS allow Test and Tune, no matter what event is taking place.

    Sure wish you'd reconsider on bringing the Mav out or not - you know the weather's gonna be bad on Sunday, right?

    With or without your car, I hope to see you there. Throw a rock at me if you see me first.
