Found this on the X275 website

I quit reading (and walk away...) when I see that rules contain the phrases "small block" and "big block".

Those are X275 rules, not Ultra Street.

John is still in. Had a bye run 5.14 @ 133 plus.

Congrats John! Pontiac Power!!!

According to the rules posted, a Pontiac has to be 250lbs heavier then a BBC N/A?

In x275, yes, because the weights listed a Pontiac combination would be using nitrous, probably via a fogger.

A little bit of ink in Dragzine.

Tom Syron

Not sure what happened to him on his second pass but it looks like he either had trans issues or traction issues...car didn't seem to want to get going out of the hole. Needless to say the S-10 was on the bumper almost half way through the whole run. #9 took out our #1 qualifier.

I keep forgetting about the old MT . But its probably still going to happen, WATCH.

John is on the new MT Pro tire...you only have to use the old MT 3754 with a power adder.

Is he a PY native ?

Yes, he chimes in once in awhile.

"Thanks for the well wishes, had a good time, broke trans Friday which put us a little behind but it was nice to get a quick trip to Florida in this time of year! We are trying to get more passes on the car and our "race day" performance needs some work!!"

John posted this over on YB.

Well we tried to get a mini vacation in but ended up more work than planned!!

We are still driving home, but had a great time there were some Pontiac faithful helping us out down there, we pitted next to Russ White's motorhome and put them to work!! (John Gunther, Wayne Garrison and Bill) they wrenched, pushed, polished, and cooked all weekend!! Thanks Guys!!

The car was consistent for four straight runs (14,15,16,15 60's) so blowing the tires off caught me off guard, then I was convinced the guy in the other lane was going to join me in my lane.... Rookie mistake, should have tried to run him down I guess......Oh well maybe next time! Thanks for positive comments! Back to work :(

I'm building mine for ultra street. Still junk eheads. ;)

Nice running car. I hope I can get mine tuned to something close to yours. I don't have the HP or torque that you have with that 541 motor.
