I picked up a copy of 4X4 Builder today and saw an article for a cool Jeep racing site. Though it is for those of us with 8 slots, 4 doors and an "X" in our model designation,  ;D. Cool site none-the-less. www.jeepspeed.com/ |

you're right John  here's one of Paul's, i couldn't find one of Carmen's. they're stroked 4.0l's that beat most of the moded rigs that have over 500HP. 4 wheel independant susp too.  |

I remember when they used to race those with the ford t-bird rear end and the four link front end. They are amazing drivers.

yep thats Paul`s beast. I`d get pics of Carmans but it`s under 3 foot of snow right now lol. Anyone needing a Jeep part thats hard to find,give those boys a call. If they can`t find it, they`ll either make it or modify something GM to make it fit  |

Two years ago, I think in Clare I belive we seen him take the drags in that "sleeper" Metric Ton Comanche. and by "take the drags" I mean beat ALL "stock" trucks V8s included. Its pretty cool to see a little Comanche blow past a Hemi. I think that he got it somewhere in Onatrio. It will make you droooool!

yep I think he told me it was from around Toronto. He just swapped in a newer 5 speed the other week with a Hurst short throw lol.
it`s almost mint, he put a big dent in the box about a month ago wheeling it.

Carmen Jr use to get time of the day (all classes) even when the XJ was "almost" stock. the closest i came was 7th with mine. made me feel good though cause i only had $1000 into it ;D |
