Sorry to hear.

I remember this car very well. I used to hate lining up with this car
when we raced in the bracket class.....

Build it better, faster, and stronger.

good luck

Sorry to hear Jim. Good news for the other bracket racers though.

Hope you get everything back together better than ever

Jim... sad to hear what happened with the car. Glad your ok though. When I was bracket racing in the 90s, I hated to line up against you too, like SOCH said. haha.
I'd purposely wait to be the last guy on that bracket lane jus so I dont have to end up lining up against you. HAHA.

Time to build a honda.

my boy is going to love to hear this...you have caused him grief over the years in pomona, palmdale, and fontana. it always seemed you guys would pair up almost at every race.

sorry to hear your retired the car and parting it out.

So sad to see one of SoCal's legendary bracket cars go down. You should build another one exactly the same color and everything.
