: Hey Jon, that was featured in Mopar Action magazine a couple years ago. It

: Cruiser pickup. It was actually a '99 chevy s-10 with the PT front grafted

  Yep, that's the one! I guess I got an even less good look at
it than I thought. :-) For some reason, I thought he had a
Chrysler motor in it, but perhaps I just assumed that. (Being
"CHRYSLERS" at Carlisle, after all.) ;-) Also explains why the
guy was rude to Jim and some of the other racers - he's just
one o them thar Chebby folk. ;-)
