Default 5.04 @ 134.82, Ultrastreet 65 GTO...my video collection

Here is my stuff from yesterday, yes the air was killer, track prep was killer, my car is a lightweight .... and I may have only learned a few things that I can use in normal conditions but it was fun working with the suspension and getting seat/air time....

Thanks again for the guys that helped me over this season get up to speed, Jeff, Brian, Langer, and Jack all had pointers and advice at different times...I took it all to heart and tried most everything they suggested!!

Also, Thanks again Don (Top452) for the converter...your not getting it back!!! And my old top secret advisors Charlie Baesch and John Rayford!!!

I am done for the year.... hope you guys have a great and safe winter and holiday season!! I'm just happy the car is in one piece and my wife has not seen any of this!!!

That was a naturally aspirated run?

That is even more awesome if so.

Man, that car has a very nice leave. What were the 60s? Solid 8.0s if you believe Wallace's calculator, AND NA!

Thanks for the encouragement, I don't think it's a 7 second ride at this point.... it is a brick afterall. I am just happy to see all of the parts available now vs. when I quit 12 years ago... parts are available (regardless of your flavor of head) that make good power... and more importantly stay together!

I look at all of the signatures and see how many 8 and 9 second Pontiacs are out there and it's amazing to me....someday I'll make it back to Norwalk to see them.

I am excited to see what the Pontiacs can do next year in Ultrastreet at Cecil/Atco/MIR ...I know Kinsler is going to hurt a lot of feelings with that Firebird when he put's a plate on it!! I can only imagine!! ...and of course if Langer decides to seriously run this class, they will have their hands full... he's been racing and beating these guys for years!!

I figured it was at least as good as Jeff's "One-Teen" 60-footer but that is exceptional and "So Pretty!" on the leave.

Congrats on your final runs for the year.
