YUP back in the 70's 80's and that's me in the drivers seat with the door open. A 70 stage 1 car converted to a 71 non stage to fit the class better;

Ron you know the setup I have...so you don't need tools or anything. Bring the car down to SMP on the Sat or Sun on a raceday or Armdrop. I'll unload the car and set it all up. You just get in and drive.
