    A few months ago Eric with the WOZ gang gave me an electric toy FC that was purchased at a "Big Lots" discount store. It was a direct copy of my green paint job taken from one of our hand-outs. It's about 1/16th scale, plays rock and roll music and the injector lights up while the rear wheels spin. Since David Peter's designs our schemes, he was considering contacting them to discuss the "rights" to the design.

    I have the toy displayed next to our Wally's in my family room. I believe it was made in Taiwan. Pretty cool.

    RG, how much did that Green paintjob cost? That was a sharp one, very few TAFC racers put much into paintjobs anymore.

    Randy, your cars are right up there with any other TAFC's that I have seen - great color combos. Good luck at the races.

    I rarely get to see color pictures of the west coast cars - can someone post some pictures on here for all of us east coasters to see?

    Someone mentioned the Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty car and I do remember seeing a color picture in ND a while back and yes, it was cool. Who was the driver? I know he was a west coast based car but I do not remember anymore about the car.

    Kingnitro, I saw the one that you described in ND, however, the one shown above is cool also. If I remember correctly, the one in ND was a Ford Probe.

    The Black yellow and Orange Probe was bought by Mitch McDowell from Harley Griffith when he quit racing and McDowell burned it down at Pomona awhile later. Tony Vigna bought everything else Harley had and put the current car together with Harley’s old crew chief Henry Contreras. Mark drove the EWMN car at the 98 Winter Nationals and Harley drove it at a couple of division races before that.

    Eric, that was a good shot of EWMN, where was that taken? Do you have any shots of Wayne Stoelkel's Boogie man?

    King, That looks like it was taken at Sacramento. Their crew chief Henry sent it to me. The only picture of the Boogie Man I have is on an old Dupont Paint calendar, I’ll see if I can dig it up.

    Hey, Does anybody know what happened to the alky flopper that was painted like a "Neon Cow", I think it was a Div. 7 car but I don't remember the driver/owner... And where is it today that paint was HOT, My kids REALLY liked it!!!
    I think it started alot of what we're seeing now as far as paint goes.
