Default FINALLY! A good launch pic of my car

Dennis snapped this pic at HRP a couple weeks ago using a disposable camera <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

This is the first picture I have seen of my car pulling the front wheels, even though its been pulling them for over a year now. This picture was only a 1.59 60', you should see how high the 1.4 60' launches go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Cool.

It looks like you're the only car at the track. And that place makes our tracks look like country back roads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Scott, thats why I like the pic so much, no other cars in it. I was lined up next to a lame Dodge Dakota in the next lane, but I cropped that out of the picture haha. This was the run where I blew the valvecover gasket out due to extreme crankcase pressure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . Glad that is fixed now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I like the "PONTIAC" banner in the background, makes this photo look like some kind of catalog shot haha.

Cool pic! I adjusted the brightness a bit so that you can see the daylight under the tire better.

great shot! Just take the car to the Super Chevy Show in September, and you'll get a NICE picture of it yanking the wheels with a 1.4 60'! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Ditto on the Super Chevy thing... I got some great pictures of my car last October at the Gainesville Super Chevy Show (and my 60's were only in the 1.48-1.50 range). Those professional photographers kick ***!

Hell, I even had one of the pictures put on a T shirt (not that I'm proud of my car or anything). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thats badass Tony! You should really submit that to Pontiac if they were going to keep making the fbody, that would look awesome in a brochure!

Viper what? :-D

Are you going to do any Bracket Racing anytime soon?

I'll probably race at Super Chevy when it comes, several of us are.

Coach, my offshore and work schedule has really messed with my usual bracket racing attendance. But, it still is more mod money when I'm working <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
