This is one of my all time favorite pictures.....Jim Plimpton's T-Bird won the Hot Rod pump gas drags race in 2008 (well earned).
If you want to see this car up close (and take a ride with Jim as he rips off a 8.0 @ 178mpg pass) check out our new 2008 DVD.

I sprayed both stages and they have never been the same!! Now they drive like me

With the new combination and having to go out of state for testing, it should be interesting!
