Default Fun night at the dragstrip

I met Dave (torqhead) as well as some others at Bandimere Speedway last night. Dave has an absolutely beautiful 69 GTO. It was hot and the air completely sucked, over 9,000 DA most of the night and it was hot. By evening we managed to get our stuff dialed in and had some fun runs. Dave had his first venture into the 12's and we had one heck of a good grudge match after we had to spend 20 minutes swapping out his ALT belt which was very near failure.

Here are some videos and pics. Nice to see some Pontiacs out there representing!
