The plan is to take the street car again this year and hopefully make a quicker pass than last year. It's that the darn driver error that keeps holding it back. ;-)

Same here - 71 GT-37 that I honestly don't think I've driven since I put it away after last years race. Hope to get into the 12's, pretty certain the car can do it, not sure if the driver can.

I was at the 1st Tri-Power Sunday. Have not - will not miss one. Engine issue from last year fixed. I have most all the paint from my "wall incident" fixed from 2 years ago. Not the best since this was my 1st time really painting a car but it's good enough for now. Changed to a single carb on the tunnel ram with a forward scoop and may head to Norwalk this Friday to test the car out. See you all soon.

Going to try and get Born Too Late back to Norwalk this year. It has been two or three since I have been there.
New motor too, hopefully running in the 10's.

I plan to bring my Tempest---Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. It's a long tow (1944 miles each way) with an open trailer, but plans are starting to firm up. GTO George, if you want to run me heads up, you've got to qualify with a seven-second pass.

Thanks, Dave for the sheet. (file was probably too big is why you couldn't get it to upload)
And Aaron for the link. ![]() I also uploaded the open side of the Q16. Hopefully soon, the open side will have 8 or more, so they won't use the body side to fill the Q16. (one year I think there were 7 qualifiers)

Doesn't matter what you think, but they take 8 open and 8 full body to make the Q16.
![]() PS: How many of those open cars skull dragged the body cars for the WIN? (I'm one of them )
