Power block tv put 2 cameras in and on the car also. I'll probably end up on the cutting room floor, but it was an honor that they asked.

Normally the only time somebody takes a picture of my car is when they want to sell me a "live action photo". Lol

They will never just sell you the digital copy of the photo either. They want you to buy their mac'd out picture frame too. LOL Whatever happened to: "give the customer what he wants"?

Well thats awesome! I got to meet Eric and family and talk to him in the pits for a few minutes this weekend at LS Fest, super nice guy and the pictures dont do the car justice. That car is just awesome in person and leaves straight as an arrow and it was turning some pretty good numbers too even took some video of it.

Congratulations. Different can be a good thing.

I never had a problem with the Mopar guys. I like the swap theme as it allows two big events per year I run both Super chevy show and the Fun Ford weekend with Freddie. I did the Super Chevy and the Mopar weekend with the Dakota a couple years back but there really weren't a lot of participants or spectators. Nowadays they run the Mopar weekend with a track points race to get more of a crowd.

For me it can be fun and it can be challenging. If I go to a regular event, a lot of people pay attention to my car. At nostalgia events, people like the car a lot. If I go to a Buick event, they love it until they look under the hood, then the jeers start. "nice Chevelle" and "what a shame" type comments LOL. Most LS guys never usually take the time to realize it is LS powered. They generally just hang with their click of other late model guys. Maybe at an LS event they would appreciate it for being LS powered.

I believe your Buick could have made that list with Eric's Valiant as clean as it is.

I went to a outlaw track and Bullshi++ed the tech card that I had a 302 boss in the car. It was a hit at the meet as far as running low 6's when it hooked and a couple (A man and woman wearing matching ford motorsports shirts... he had a ford motorsports hat on) came over wanting to buy the car. I told them it's really not for sale. LOL.

HA! That is awesome. If I did that at the Buick Nationals, they would have an aneurysm if that figured it out. LOL
