ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Racing is the devil! You might ....... break something or........ get hurt.

Just kidding. When my car is running, I drag race some and do a lot of autocross.

Cool we have some drag racers here!! Nice pic up there too.
I think some people who run thire car as just a street car with a load of HP are afraid of knowing thire track time. Maybe they are afraid of the truth.

Well actually the paint job didn't cost much because I know the guy who painted it so he gave me a great deal. It was painted at Maaco but it is by no means a maaco job. I did all the bodywork myself (spot puttying and wet sanding to get the body perfect). My friend gave me a few extra coats of base and clear. Looks better in the sun. I can send more pics if you want just email me. By the way my name means No foriegn Junk ....Zepher was right.
Thanx
