Here's the car Alice drove for the 2000 year. She wanted to run this one instead of an 80 Gran Fury. We had many experiences
building and stripping this car. Almost had it taken away beacause we found a crack pipe and a switchblade while stripping
it. She ran this car in the late season Ipswich derby.
Alice had a blast running this car. We took the motor from the Diplomat and dropped it in here and boy did that car scream!
She had some tough luck in her heat. Battery cable end broke so she got 3rd there. Went to the pits and fixed that up to
send her to the consi. Better luck there, she took 1st. Not much time to work on the car, but we managed to cut a few things,
top off the tank and get her back out for the feature. The car was going really well and Alice was doing a real good job
at protecting the nose, but a big ole Imperial hit her by the edge and pushed her out. Ended up in about 6th. No money,
but a ton of fun.
We should've known to protect the rear a bit more. When we dropped the gas tank out we could see
the ground through the rusted out holes in the trunk pan. Should've been a winner, but the rust took care of that.
