Jim also has a good supply of Depends stashed in the glovebox, so that helps!

Congrats on getting into the sevens Jim!

Age means nothing, you're only as old as you feel.

7.50s here we come!

Way to go Jim! Another 7 second Pontiac!! Look back 5-10 years, the performance bar has really been raised in the last few years. As far as the 71 years young goes, if Arnie Beswick read these posts, he would likely say you were still a young kid just getting started!!. Great job.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
