I am very happy with how the rear packed and the front did well. I need to do a little sheet metal work pull the rt front fender out and change the radiator. Gonna run this car again just not sure where yet. Thinking a little bigger tire on the rear also. Any other ideas on things to change on it before I run it again. TOM

I could do a bolt in window bar in the back I don't think they'd even look at it. Not supper worried next run should be all nose Im gonna see if I can bend it. You could of looked at the cars more would of been fine with me. I'm always open to suggestions and ways to make stuff better. Your car was the one getting all the attention. Some guys where really talking about your cage. Tom

Ran the vic again tonight and got a heat win front never moved. Took alot of tire shots to the pass side and it never bent a thing. I did lose a lower ball joint on the driver side. Body is pretty beat but may save it to go again. Tom

So the 03 got one last run last Sunday. A friend of mine that had been out of derby sense 2008 due to back injury came out of retirement for one last run. He won the heat and qualified for the state championship feature that night. The car looked the same as it did when it went in the heat so he took it back for the feature. He did very well taking the car to 7th or 8th out of 18 cars. It did brake both tie rod ends and that's how they hung him on the wall. All in all for a stock 03 I was very impressed with it. The 4.6 ran like a bear the last 3 runs. I have some plans if I get another, worst part now there's more guys buying them now. Tom
