Where is Mike 1023?

I know this isn't about drag racing but since he is one our best racers from the northeast region I was wondering what ever happen to him. His car was a beast and man that kid can drive

I think he wanted to keep it. Last time I spoke to him before I lost my phone and all my contacts I think he was having the motor redone but I'm not sure by who. A good friend I ran into 2 weeks ago told me he was at the mercy of some vendor's machine shop...not sure how true that was though

I thought his motor was already built. I believe he said that THE SHOP in CT built it. He was swearing it was his spec engine. Meanwhile, he did not have a clue what the specs of the engine were. He did not even know the compression ratio.

He is a big lair he just doesn't like to share too much info with others he like the competitive edge. No I know The Shop built his motor but I think he was redoing it for something big, bold, bad, and wild.

I'm glad you have respect for the losers. I have no respect for anyone who has the money from the customer but is dragging their bounda's 5 months is kind of crazy for all of that you should have given it to me. I could have had it back faster then that.

Mike your a good guy so there is no reason for a motor to be held hostage....damn terrorist.
