Met him yesterday in Bradenton. Cool dude for sure. The car is a beast. Good luck to him. My wife and I are running our street cars during Sick Week 2022 as well, so we'll get to see all of his runs!

Believe Richard Guido (from Canada) has one of the fastest and quickest 65 GTOs with a manual trans in the world.

He has been in the game for a long time with Mark at Luhn Performance helping him
in the past. Always does very well at the Racing Events.
