    I don't think throwing your "name" in the hat is what it takes to drive that car. Those little pieces of paper with dead Presidents pictures on them are more likely the ticket.

    hat

    yeah, but it all starts with putting your foot in the door Randy. You have to start somewhere. but yes, ALOT of dead presidents will get their attention. just because my last name isn't Force or Schumacher does not mean my pants go on any different in the morning.

    Don't get me wrong. I didn't say you couldn't drive it. A lot of unknown name folks drove the JD and KM A/Fueler in the past like Scelzi, Troxel and Pedregon that are now big names. Just takes lots of dead presidents to do it. (By the way, my wife's maden name is Hall, so you already have a big name in my book).

    If you have the means give them a call. 626-989-6789. Ask for Jerry.

    seat

    thanks Randy, never met her, but your wife must be a great woman! it's a shame, but there is a driver out there we will never know about just because he/she doesn't have a rich mommy or daddy to put them in a top notch ride. I know of a few of them. Oh well, have a great day gang.

    Remember, never lift 'till you see the net!!

    Dead presidents?

    I was hoping a semi full of Doctor Pepper and all the used cut zip ties was going to get me in that seat!

    Hey Randy,

    Just a guesstamite, but what would it take to plop ones butt in the seat of the D/M ride? 100K?

    On a joking side, would you kick Pete out of the seat of your hot rod for that much money? :D

    I believe the 20+ races is Force's idea. What kind of money does it take for other rides???

    I have that much and I'm not kicking him out ;) $100K would still require a several more "K's" to go with it.

    I would guess for JD and KM's ride $250K might start the conversation going in the right direction.

    ridin'

    I like the Dr Pepper myself, but that doesn't fill the tank. Guessing atleast 70-80k per year. Whoever drives it, just yell my name as you are going thru the traps once for me!
