Some early Scamp pictures

Sweet, these Scamps are just falling out of every were. Looks like another Y9 Tawney gold car. Like those Holeshots too.

Yep, Tawney Gold. It's going to be flat black though as it's going to be a stealth car. lol

We bought this car for my son about 5 years ago for $300 from a storage lot. It was an abandoned car originally from Arkansas. He drove it on the street for a year or two then it became just a part time race car. Ran 14's with a stock 285,000 mile 318 roller motor.

I didn't want to cut up my Duster as it's an original 340 4 speed car so I traded cars with my son. It was a very solid car with precious little rust. The trunk spare tire well looked like brand new. It's never been hit hard, just parking lot dings and a little damage when they pulled it out of the yard to the right lower quarter.

Anyway my plan is to build the car to run at the bottom of the Pro ET class at 10.00 flat. I need to get it to run around 9.70 in good air to insure I can run 10.00 in the heat of the summer in bad air. I'll just slow it down to get there. Car will be all black as will the front wheels to complete the "hard to see stealth motif". This will make it harder to judge by my slower opponents at the finish line.
