Nice! What was the award? I'm going to take my wagon to Cordova this summer for AMC day... assuming I have her painted by then. I think this stroker is going to rock people's socks for sure!

Wait... what?  There's a car in that picture?  I was too busy looking at Miss Colorado.

Just meeting her would be enough of an award for me.  ;)

That's a great looking SX/4, it's one of the sweetest looking ones I've seen(Mick's EXO Eagle is still my favorite).

Bracket racing I assume? since I don't think 19 seconds will win a head to head tourniment hehe..
Eagle's are good for a few things.. Drag racing doesn't seem to be one of them  ;D
