63 lemans coupe B gas. It's all apart now but it should be ready. If it's not, I have a 69 firebird or 34 Pontiac coupe. If they let you change cars. Your firebird goes good. what are you using for a transmission?

That's awesome! Yes, you can change cars, classes, and about anything else except who is registered. That person has to compete.

I'm running a TH350 with a few upgrades that was built by a local guy that builds great transmissions. PTC 10" converter that flashes to 5000.

Do you book motels through Anthony travels or do it on your own?

We have always booked hotels (fully refundable just in case we can't make it) as soon as the dates and tracks are announced. I know some that don't reserve rooms at all and just take what they can find along the way.

I always winged it and got hotels the day of. There's enough people dropping out due to issues with their car that I never had an issue doing this.

I sat this one out along with last year. I’ll be back next year. Car will be ready, just too many other commitments between my son playing travel baseball and a wife who hates my car hobby lol.

Very generous offers guys! We'll keep that in mind but hopefully won't have to take you up on it!

Your only option at this point is to get on the wait list and show up on tech day with cash in hand. They have yet to fill up the event or turn away anyone that shows up on tech day.

We made it in with the Camaro but the date of birth glitch got us when registering the Trans Am. We're, of course, going to show up anyway with the TA. We live about a half hour from MIR so if anyone needs to use a well equipped shop with lift, mig and tig, transmission jack, engine hoist , lots of th400 & 4l80e parts. Lots of Pontiac engine parts etc. Hit me up on facebook (Erik Wiegand) I can have someone at the house in short order.

On the last day, she did run a 10.30@130 with a 125 shot in 2nd and 3rd.
This year we are changing heads and going to a roller (no more flat tappet!) which should put the car easily in the 9.90-10.0 range.
