More than just a shop truck!

The interior is nothing fancy, a stock dash and insert stuffed with S/W gauges; S-10 seats chopped down 10", a custom steering wheel, and Juliano's seat belts, just something comfortable enough for Cheryl running down the highway or the quarter mile, whenever she feels the "need for speed".
After getting the truck on the road and driving it around town to get any bugs worked out, it was time for Cheryl to take it to the drag strip and try it out. They went to the H.A.M.B. drag races in Joplin, Mo. , where they also took their dragster too, so the little blue truck served double duty as a racecar and chase car all at the same time. Cheryl has also raced at other tracks as well; K.C.I.R. Raceway and Sikeston just to name a few. Steve has so much fun watching Cheryl race, way more than if he were racing. Just seeing her get so excited about cutting a good light, or beating the other guy, is a hoot to watch says Steve, she even has a race face she uses to scare her competition. So keep in mind the next time you pull up at the stop light by a little blue Model A, it's not the little ole lady from Pasadena, it's the little ole "Speed Queen" Cheryl Kaiser from Arnold, Mo. , just waiting to blow someone away!
