Awww Jeepers..... you a hard workin' guy Mr Apple. Two of them no less..... Good on Ya!
I did a job a while back for the owner of the big carpet cleaning company, his garage was 10 bays and he had a dingy looking yellow AC in there with cracked paint and checked up whitewalls. Little bubbles in the chrome.....
I asked "really???"
"Yup, the only thing that's ever been changed is the oil!"
I gotta' work a liddle harder
That's one "Ford" I wouldn't mind owning.

Al,
The blue one,"Lethal Weapon" stays in the corner where it belongs. 750 HP 545 cubic inch motor. It is NOT fun to drive.

Who manufactured the body and chassis on the red Cobra David? Looks like a CSX 4000 Series but I could be wrong.

Mr. Lee, you said you used to race in Pro Mod? May I ask what your setup was?
I aint got enough money to actually own one, but I cant get enough of the Outlaw 10.5 and Pro-Mod racing. X275 and Outlaw Drag Radial too. Theres nothing better than watching a good driver finesse a 2000 or 3000hp snarling beast of a door slammer down the track on small tires.
I fancy myself more of a turbo guy personally. Having ridden in a few slow turbo cars, theyre just so fun.
Turbo cars recently broke new ground lately for Outlaw Pro Mods(aka "Pro Extreme") with help from Proline Racing and the guru Steve Petty(if anyone can get the turbo cars to run with the outlaw screw Pro-Mods, its him):

And they have since gone even faster, 3.59@216mph in the 1/8:

They can make `em run in the 1/4 too, 5.706@260mph:

So yeah, needless to say Im pretty proud of them, just when everybody thought and was saying the turbo cars would never catch up to the screw cars in Pro Extreme, the boys from the great state of Georgia made them eat their words!
Dont quote me on this, but I want to say for the Q80 car that theyre running twin 94mm Precision turbos, and on the El General car theyre running twin 88mm Precision Pro-Mod Gen. 2`s; like I said I could be wrong though because I believe SCSN is one of the races where they dont enforce the NHRA Pro-Mod rule of twin 88mm turbos maximum. As mentioned in the descriptions, both cars are running 481X`s, basically a BBC that has been heavily modified.
