John, I know that he went to get a 98 Trans Am roller today, and he also bought a 98 Camaro. I think that the Camaro would be the next project, since it is a hardtop.

Damn,I feel bad for Mike and Steve.I'm sure they'll be back really soon,running stronger than ever.

I know the midnight oil will be burning in the "Ohio Boys Racing" speed shop.

I can't imagine trying to hook up 1700hp on a 9" tire.

Are the tranny and motor okay?

As far as we can tell they seem fine. The engine was sitting a little bit crooked, but nothing was broke from what we could see. As soon as it hit the wall Steve said he turned of the power to the car, hopefully everything is ok.
