for those that made it, a good friend was nice enough to let me flog his 79 T/A 400 4sp. The car has never been on the track before. This is the first year the Pure Stock Drags allowed certain 75-79 models and this "late model" was the only one to participate. It also wasn't the slowest car there. It was the 8th slowest. We dig zero tuning to the car. No clamping of the springs, nothing. In between the violent wheel hop, I managed to qualify at a 14.97 @ 94. I was matched up with a buddy who was running his wife's 70 El Camino 396 4sp car (he's a member here and used to own the only other GT-37 to participate in the Pure Stock Drags). I managed to win the best 2 out of 3 shootout.
It was so much fun running a different car. In qualifications on fri I even managed to take out a 69 GTO
