That was the best show. I just saw the rerun this morning, again.
Where is the 68 firebird now? Still running it?

Whats the set up now a days? How do you get that thing to hook and pull the wheels that good with a stick car. What shocks? I could pick your brain all night lol. I am pretty local to you would love to check this car out. Was at KCIR 3 weeks ago and was hooking pretty good with a 6k launch. Myself am a 6 speed racer

Basically cam only car with less than cam only cars have lol. Stock intake ls6 no porting, stock t/b no porting,241 heads no porting. Cam lift has to stay
.515 lift motor must have stock compression also. Suspension is all strange shocks, spohn bolt on anti roll bar, stock k-member and control arms, no welded traction devices allowed, Burkhardt torque arm, car works very well that was a 1.39 60 foot on 9'' tires too.

If you don't follow it stock is a really neat class.

Whats your raceweight? Who did the cage? Dont follow stock but love the class way to competitive for me with the lack of knowlege that some of the stock guys posses. But I can keep my car consistant.

I had this episode on my DVR up until about a month ago, upgraded my dish box and the dbag didnt back up my shows like he was supposed to. AND, I missed the rerun. Watching that episode about 30 times caused me to buy another Camaro. Hope you're happy!

I watched this episode probably 10 times. I remember the night it aired, I was around 16 yrs old and watched it with my step dad, we would always bet on who would win. Him being an old school guy and me being an LSx fan I naturally picked you to win, he surprised me and also picked your car to win. I got mad(not seriously mad) and made him pick your brothers car instead.

Lol so thanks for one of the few memories that I have with my step dad, I'm grown now and unfortunately we do not get to enjoy stuff like this together anymore.

In C/S my minimum weight is 3245 I usually keep it at 3255 or so. Rick Bommarito did the cage he does great work he is in the arnold area.


Need a camaro,
