Congrats! Any win is special, but an early season win could be a momentum builder! Good luck to you in 2015.

Thanks guys.

I was just going over the car and the alternator belt is missing and the vacuum pump belt is twisted. Who knows when that happened? I think I may have done it spinning the motor a bit to high one time doing a burnout.

Car is deadly consistent. Thanks to Hoffman Racing for an extremely reliable engine.

Racing this year is going to be interesting. I am going to hit all the local and some divisional T/S races (when I can qualify), where I am always the slowest. Then I am going to race at all these "Doorslammer" races, where I am one of the fastest. Should be a fun year.

Tom, Congrats. A deadly consistent car also needs a deadly consistent driver. Have to have both. You deserve a pat on the back.

I try to set the car up for teens. Double ohs are a bit to close for me.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
