I don't own it any more. I sold it because I was in the military and didn't have a place to store it. It changed hands 3 or 4 times since.

The Rick Mudge Concord was the one that got rolled a couple of years ago at Milan.  Liz Bies was driving at the time. She is finally back racing again in her Dad's AMX.  The Concord is waiting to see if it can be rebuilt or not.

I went thru the same thing when I joined the marines in 1988. I retired in 2008. Thanks for your service brother! Hope your still in cars.

A few pics of my old race car, now gone. That car was an awesome bracket car, it really would "hook in a muslide" and would repeat within .01.

What happened to the pictures? The Hornet lost a foot of wheelbase!
 
Why on earth would I use a Mopar engine? Apologies to the Mopar guys, but those things are dumb; Mopar only learned how to design a decent engine after thay bought AMC and got some good engine designers.
 
It was a fairly mild 401, ported iron heads, pump gas (10 to 1), torker, 850, 1 3/4 headers, 255 degree cam, good 8" converter, glide, 4.10 gears, and a lot of optimization over a lot of years racing. The best is went was a 10.28 at 130.5 mph @ 2875 lbs.
 
I did start a new car but life got in the way. It sits unfinished in the shop.

Another little bracket car that I owned - Low 14's and a 4 door. Gave it to my son who sold it to put a patio on his house.
