The next drag racer gears up!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

My daughter Amanda turns 8 in early July so we've been on the hunt for a car for her. We pulled the chute on one this weekend, and just came back from Richmond, VA last night. It's an '02 Halfscale, turn key operation from a very nice family who's daughter only put 8 passes on the car over the last 5 years. She is aging out, and so now it's Amanda's turn.

Nothing better than the big smile! Like the other post author stated - "this is why we do this". I'll be spending many nights getting this car ready, but wouldn't have it any other way.





Handing the baton to the next driver:





I really don't like pulling when it's snowing, snowed almost all they way down, and most of the way back,



Gave a mean look to the left going through DC, wondering why more of my $ is going to taxes instead of racing....



When we got home, big brother Benjamin gave the thumbs up to little sis' new car!



She loves her shiney wheels - especially the 'Flower' versions on the front - and the Shark Nose!





The first late night of many to come, all tucked away in the garage awaiting the reconfiguration of the side-pull to a center-pull and the install of the HP Pea Shooter engine. Then the graphics etc.





We are offering to run a friend's son in the car using the gray body until Amanda ages in, hopefully they will get hooked like the rest of us!
