Ran in Houston August '03 and did ok. Just found out that they are having another derby in October '03 in Houston so this old car will be going again.

This car has been ran three years and has a possibility of going again. It still runs.
After sitting out two years this car is being prepped for another derby. August 1st and 2nd 2003 in Houston. I am going to give her one last shot to see just how tough this old Lincoln is.
Missed the money by one car all three years and according to a few fans I should have been there because I was called before a car that had sat twice as long but he was a buddy of the officials so you figure it out.
Did some minor damamge to the front end the last time I ran it so I had to make a few modifications including a new bumper and drivers side fender. Did this before I decided to actually run it again. When I decided to actually go again I cut all of the old mods  off and replaced them with parts that would pass inspection at the arena.
Gotta love those side impact beams in the doors. They have kept the panels off of me for three years. Hopefully they still got one more in them.
Got just a little bit of trash thrown in the back but a few minutes of cleanup and we'll be ready to go again.
I have replaced the front end and installed a new core support in hopes of running it one more time. After sitting two years I dropped in a new set of points and fired it. Had to have the tranny welded beecause I busted the tailshaft housing playing in the yard. Hit a tree a little too hard I guess. Should be ready to go in no time. Got to get a new back bumper too. I ripped this one off trying to move it so that I could work on it. Oh well just adds one more thing to the list of things to be done in less than three days.
To pics from Houston derby 2003
I will get some more pics on before I run it again and add the after pics as soon as I am done with the derby and get a chance.
