Horizontal Divider 11

This is the car that I ran at the Hill County Fair in Havre in 2001. The car held up pretty well and the engine ran awesome. I won my first heat and took second in the feature, winning $1600. This car ran the last fifteen minutes of the final without oil or water. It still runs but will not see any more derby action.
