The Frank Patrum family's beautiful turbocharged "Street Sleeper"
Hey Judy and Dave,
You're right about getting the feel of the car and the "practice", I could use alot more. I'm still not satified, I know I can go faster ! The race was Aug 21, 2005. The car was still street legal weighing about 2200 pounds, full interior, two batteries and even speaker boxes ! The guys I was racing had a steering wheel and a seat. Boy were those boys mad as we started puttin them on their trailers. My car had electric windows and power door openers and I was
driving it on the street until the gas prices made it impossible. I have started lightning the car up to get it to 1650 pounds like Dave told me . When it comes to the car, what Dave says, I do..lol. I told Dave I wanted to come up to see y'all and spend some time with Dave to learn all I can about turbos. I think he may have thought I was kidding but I wasn't. He did tell me "too bad you aren't closer Frank, I'd put you're ass to work"...lol I'd better go for now Judy, tell Dave I said hey. Take care .... Frank and Family
