As always, Tom...you're always welcome. Don't know how much time I'll have to spend in the suite myself, with having the funny car there this time around. Perhaps our Dutch friends from across the big pond will be able to join us again?

Looks like a street car to me!

Just a heads up guys. There's a new guy in town. The engine's going in next week. Pistons and other parts by PDude. I'll be there. Have your money ready.

Can you legally drive with wheelie bars on the street? Just wondering? I have not tried.

[Bill Bolin]

"Can you legally drive with wheelie bars on the street? Just wondering? I have not tried."

I don't know about legally, but I do it all the time. Never had a problem with either car they were on.

Brian, there is something wrong with that white Firebird pictured above, the front wheels are straight up and down on the launch!

Whats up with that deal? Must be a first generation firebird flaw
in the suspension design.

Aww Brian, probably not this year, but who knows, anythings possible. Would love to see the funnycar in action. Here's a nice pic of a nice pair of pretty quick streetcars

[John Langer]

How can they be street cars??? There are no forward facing hood scoops or lexan windows.

[Tom Vaught]

John, you need to get your front suspension fixed like Ray's and then you would REALLY fly!!! LOL!

Beautiful Cars!

Kenny will have his hands full next year for sure.

I noticed the same thing too, Tom. Gee, without the front tires pointing in like pigeon toes, the car must be quicker by .05-.08 seconds.

Well, you and your family are always welcome back.

[Brandi Kay]

How did he get the tires to stay like that?


Will that work well on the street, or be a nightmare in allignments and front tire and ride handeling?

Brandi...Tom and I are busting Ray Cox's balls for not having the geometry setup properly on the front of his Trans-Am. There's nothing wrong with John's geometry on his white '69 Firebird.

Looks like the Birds headers have kissed the pavement if you look closely.

I think i'd remember seeing any street car with those modifications on the street in my 32 years.

LMAO

[John Langer]

They have done more then just kiss the ground.

I wonder how pigion toed those two cars would be if they ever drove them on the street with that Street car front suspension? I dont see a Gm part on those cars forward of the firewall except may be the fenders dont get me wrong great cars great launches, but they have atleast 5 gs more in the front suspension than I do show me a 2nd gen car with stock control arms and spindles..... aint hapinen! Im sure I could drop some ET, but a bigger set of tires would drop it more and be a lot cheeper thats not what its all about

Here's one Ray...notice the front end alignment and lack of bump steer.
