June 04 issue of HPP has Troy's 60 Ventura as one of five shoot-outs cars. Very nice 60, my kind of Pontiac. Congrads Troy and keep up the good work.

Grandville 455: The Wolverine cam produces tons of torque and has decent HP. Good luck.

Like Troy said,When I was in the shoot-out in 2000 I had a great time. We still need more cars for the HPP shoot-out in May at the Pontiac Southern Nationals in Ennis, Texas. Go to www.dapa.org to unload the HPP forms.
