We will see if that picture makes it anywhere.
Well, it wasn't the burnout pic, but Tom's great shot make the car look much better than it really is. For the second month in a row, I was very surprised to see the ole girl grace the pages of HPP. April, it was a great shot on the table of contents where I was launching the car at Bryon Dragway during the POCI race. For May, which just came in the mail today, it was an article by Tom, Pontiacs at The Pure Stock Drags. A nice shot and writeup of my shootout along with 5 other shootouts. The last page lists all the results of the Pontiacs at Stanton. Thanks Tom
