We are currently waiting on a new set of KRE D-ports and the motor is not back together yet. We miss this years MM, but at least we went there with Jess Tyree. Next year for sure.

Wolfs63- your picture didn't come up. I would love to see it. I've been looking for a 63 with no luck.
Jusjay- I think that tempest is awsome. What times does it run?
Don- I've seen your car posted before (in an exhaust related thread) I am very impressed with that thing! Your car is one of the few 3rd gen cars I like!

Hey Jusjay, Where and who did you get your Tempest from? It looks like the Tempest that I painted for my friend Howard back in 1992. Did it used to have a white top?

Don,
What kind of headers are they?
They are the strangest looking (BUT) coolest headers I have ever seen.

BAD10, same car. My partner, Bill McGloghlon has had the car for the last 4 years. We have made a number of modification to it to be more competive in D/Gas (GoodGuys). We currently have 6 pontiac between us. We also are a sponsor of Jess Tyree 63 pontiac B/Gas Tempest. That's our banner behind Jess's car.

The headers were made by Jack Davis in California . The real reason we ran the headers out the front was because at the time My car was build (it was the first GT car build) NHRA would not let us modify underneath so we just adapted ,now the modify is allowed ,any way I have dynoyed the headers many times and to my delight they are worth about 7hp over any other set that I have tried. I can change trans and convertors really quick also. LOL

Thats cool. Small world!! I've got a bunch of before and after pictures of that car, as well as a copy of the magazine it was in back in the day when this guy Tom at my gym used to own it. He "built" the car but did it so 1/2 asssed that when my friend Howard bought it he redid everything correctly. It was jerry rigged so bad originally that it was unsafe.

How about a picture of me running over the sidewall of my tires?



I should have some decent drag racing photos sometime this weekend.

I found this one on a for sale sight. I really like the 61-63 race cars.
Didn't say a price but with a 475 and nos ran 9:15's. Still a really nice car.
