That sounds great, work on him and I will too! Jessie Holmes and I are going up to see Mike after the new year. I have most of the plumbing and wiring finished, Jessie is working on the final machine work on the 406. I will go down to Pensacola when he gets it all laid out to do the assemble and run in. I will get Jessie to send you all the info on the race and show.

Looking good Larry, our buddy Mike does great work! He stopped by my place a few weeks ago to pick up some Falcon parts and showed me the progress photos. We are having our first Southern Outlaw Gasser race of 2016 @ Atmore March 26. See if you can fit it into your schdule, we would love to have you down in LA.

Too bad, the weather is too bad w00t. Raining and almost freezing. 6 months to next race, so we have time to open up the engine and change bearings and piston rings. Also need to make new charge air pipes from intercoolers to intakes and from turbos to intercoolers. Some day, some day...

Well you know what I say, If you can't be fast, be spectacular and put on a good show !!! I guess I'm a Hollow Head to, here in the U.S.  Hows the weather over there ? Would love to come over some time and watch you guys race.  Larry Short

Ok Larry, I'll ask again about bars after you have done couple of "exhibition" runs and entertained the crowds BigGrin.

Thanks, the dragster is a 1950s original made by Lyndwood Welding Co. in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Their cars set many records all over the U.S.  I'm sure it won't pass inspection by NHRA but there's tracks that will let you make a pass or two. No wheelie bars, want to keep it original as I can.
