Scott it was nice meeting you today at the store.  Yes, I've bought all the moly tubing to rebuild/update my race car from WICKS.  A couple of friends of mine who have built front engine dragsters also have purchased the tubing from you folks.  Like I said today, you are near enough to us and you are also are open on Saturday mornings for us to come down.  When you get your decals, send me a couple.  I'll be happy to put them on the car.

  I've attached a photo of my car taken at Indianapolis this past season.  I only race at Nostalgia Events.  There are annual races at tracks in Havana & Cordova IL, Indianapolis and Bowling Green, KY that give me enough through the year.  Usually when it gets too hot I stay home.  Not as young as I used to be.  My car is a 1923 Ford T-bucket alterd from the 70's, 102" wheel base w/all moly tubing, 364 cu.in. carburated Ford engine on racing gas with a two speed transmission.  I basically had to re-build the chassis to meet the newer safety spec's.  Best it's ran has been in the 1/4 mile was a 9.81 e.t.@ 134 mph.  1/8th mile has been a 6.18 e.t. @ 109 mph.  I've had the car 7 years now and it's been alot of expensive fun.  Should you need any additional photo's, just let me know.  Nice meeting you and maybe we'll see you again.  Thanks,
