If you are talking doorslammer - Eric has the quickest and fastest car in history.

Apparently a buggy counts too! As long as it's not a central driving position, it's ok! |

The car still is sitting in their shop,looks like its still ready to go back to the track. I sat in the car when I was there to dyno my engine,very cool ride. The Kawells are fantastic and very honest down to earth people. I even got to pet the racoons, I am proud to call them friends, Mike McCarthy
