Hopefully the fastest will be the 80 Elky SS I am involved in.

My 1980 Diablo, have posted a few picures here and now have more & it's running good. Shooting for low 10's or high 9's in the 1/4th.
I had a 1987 Yamaha V-Max in 1992.
Had a 1987 Grand National in the late 80's & early 90's.
No one else is crazy enough to let me drive their cars :evil: so I have to build my own :D.
