I wish I still had most of the race cars listed.
My list is so short, I can include pictures!
Martin FF; there is a reason you've never heard of it. Spun under the Bridge at RAtl, broke the rear upright. Cook at Southwind declind to weld on 'potmetal,' and suggested I get a real car.
78 VD FF; as close to a real car as I could afford. Same motor, same driver, same results except I didn't wreck it. I blew the motor. [Rebuilds? we don't need no rebuilds, do we?]
84 Swift DB-1 FF; After a decade out for school, I finally got a real car, with a real motor and tires that were not throw aways from someone else. Still trying to learn to get all the speed out of it. When I get faster than the car, I'll move up, but I doubt I'll ever get there.

I've got to join the fray, as Ted and Nancy (Hi guys), and Chuck(Yo Buddy) have posted, and I am the 3rd Zink Z14 SV in a photo of us three racing up the t1 hill at Sears, that hangs on my wall. The Zink will always be my favorite; Got it from T&N (Nancy was the Mr. Peanut car in Pro SV, then, and Ted was the guru/mentor who I learned a lot from-- Thanks, Ted), won my first race in the Zink, first lap record, and 2nd wife (still here after 29 years).
Now have the Zink back as a basket case/ restoration project.

but heretofore never seen Honda Elsinore full size truck!
I heard it had an IRL inspired, mid mounted, wide angle V8, evidently in an effort to lower the CG, and improve all aspects of handling.
I've got my name on a list for one, but may just wait it out till the 2nd model year before pullin' the trigger...
My vanity plates are on order:
We would be very honoured to help you select a car to replace the Honda you have recently become dissatisfied with.
In order that we can commence with this exercise, it is requested that you deposit US1.25m in an account, only to act as a security deposit, so that we may assist you, in what is sure to be a long and arduous search.
Our panel of professional motorsports drivers will leave no stone unturned as we help you select the perfect car for your needs.
As most of the selling dealers here in the US now require prepayment in full at MSRP before a test drive can be arranged, we figure it will take at least 5, or as many as 10 test drives so that we may weed out the undesireable cars, eventually arriving at a winner.
You will be pleased to learn that all taxes, fees, insurance, shipping, licensing and any incidentals are included in the above referenced contract.
Please forward your bank info, inclusive of any passwords so that we may proceed.

Z06 with LS3? You mean LS7, right? LS3 is 6.2 in base Vette, LS7 is 7.0 in Z06.

57 AJS 500cc scrambler tons of fun racing this bike

81 Husqvarna 250 cc Factory Supercross bike, Built by Mitch Payton [Pro Circuit] for factory. EXTREMLY FAST and easy to ride, , still own it, fully restored, The best race bike I have ever owned
You're absolutely correct! I have the LS7 motor, I meant to put down 3LS for the suspension package. They've got so many numbered option packages that I have a hard time keeping them straight.

I think that package is 3LZ. Awesome car.
