There was video taken. Not sure when it's going to be available. There was also a live video feed. IIRC, during my 3rd round of the shootouts, Tom Shaw was right there at the guard rail while I was in the burnout box. So I made sure to do a real nice one, a little longer than usual too. 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

another bump. sadly, things came up and I never got the 4.33s finished in time.

I know The Boss can't make it. But will we see a gold winning HO M-22 show up this year? weather this year looks to be awesome, mid to low 60s. Plan to head north tomorrow afternoon after I get my truck back (one of the things that came up)

Me thinks Chris mentioned my GT-37 coming this year. But, next year for sure!

I have to prove the driver can do better than 16 sec in a 12 sec car......

Have fun out there and enjoy. But, don't get Lyndon mad!
