New from WV- Pontiac G8
Hey guys, my buddy John has been talking up this forum for a long time; I finally made my way over here. I see tons of Pontiac knowledge here, not so much geared towards late models but I love the classics too so I plan on spending lots of hours reading and learning here.
My car is a 08 Pontiac G8 GT, dedicated to drag racing these days. I ran last season at Kanawha Valley but looks like the track has gone belly-up so next season will be at Owingsville and Clay City KY. Car runs Modified/No box. I managed to take class at KV's last race; apparently forever... http://kanrace.com/kvmp_results.html Car was featured in High Performance Pontiac a while back, when I lived in Florida and it was still a street car. http://www.highperformancepontiac.co..._gt/index.html . Lots things changed since then and lots more to come. Current best ET is 11.56 @ 118 but I hope to be in the high 10s next season. Anyway, thanks for having me! Tom

Welcome, Tom! I'm kind of in the same boat right now- I love the old cars covered here but I have a late-model right now. Lots of very knowledgeable people here- enjoy!

We do that because on new members we want to make sure they're not spamming. The only porn we allow here is car porn!
