I don’t think I’ve ever had a video to post.
Not a PB, but was just nice to let her rip a bit.

Been a while since I made a pass in my Formula. (Black, twin turbo.)
Last time we spoke was when I was renewing my license which was around 2017?
And I have been following your Vette build.

Look forward to seeing you make some runs some time this year.

Hey Ron! Wow! Long time no hear! So funny to hear that you went out in the Nova, because I have had my car sitting for over 2 years. And I just ressurected it this weekend as well. My run(s) were not as glorious. Knocked out a bunch of 5.80's. But 1 of my fuel pumps had gone bad it seems from sitting for 2 years. Fixing that up now, and should be back at it full force. Glad you were able to get back out again and have some fun! Hope all is well.
plus it has been so long everything will have to be replaced as far as safety gear. Even the cage cert is expired. So time and money......winning the lottery would help with both.
Car is on the road . Been driving around getting my street manors and cold start dialed in then I’ll start with a little boost. My 17-0 converter is a lot looser than a 15-0 . Glad to see some good runs from your nova . Gives me hope for mine

i would love to man, just don’t know if I will be able to. I have a 408 that needs to go in the formula and the ls7 will go in my vette. So lots of work to be done before I can make a pass.

Took me all summer to put the 6.2 in the Vette. I got one speed on mechanical work and it’s damn slow!
Good luck on both projects!

I also have a 17-0 I think. It drives around fine. What EFI are you running? I have a feeling not many running the stock stuff like me any more.
