Jerry and Jeff kinda hung out a couple of times.... Being friends with my
Brother in Law they had to come see Sal make a Pass in the Hot Rod......
That and Jeff.... well he seemed to be Taken with Brad's Beer..... ( ain't
nothing like a free beer to loosen the tongue )

I thought Sal was going to wet his pants when he learned how easy it was for
you to click up a couple of pounds of Boost... He had always Poo Poo'ed my
desire to run Turbo's....  Trust me he had a complete understanding when he
left the Salt....

I kinda knew it was over 5000lbs.... amazing isn't it.... Fights every
conventional thought in the world....

I have been Planning a Very unconventional Suspension system for the Bugeye
that may give me the ability to run a little less Ballast.... I'll cover it
in another E-mail down the Road... but it's a Three link with the Top link
being a LONG forward facing Torque arm.... Similiar to a Dirt Track car...
