Hello LS1Tech. I'm Gerry and I'd like to introduce you to my gal, Charlotte. She's an '06 GTO with current mods listed in my sig. I hear about this site all the time, so I thought I'd join and see what's up.

I live in Festus, off of 67 past Surdyke Harley. For anyone that knows where Redline's new shop is, I live a couple miles back in the woods behind them.

I have mixed feelings about the other shop, so it probably wouldn't be fair to comment about them.

Nice to "meet" you folks. I had Andy weld a bung into my headers for my O2 and chatted with Tim the tuner as well. Seem like nice folk, and there's always beautiful cars at their shop. I'll probably try to catch a dyno day when they have one to see how I'm doing with my tune.

I wave to all my GM cousins, so if you see a black GTO rumbling around on the back roads of JeffCo, toss me a wave.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I've always been a big Firebird and Camaro fan, so I think your cars look great too.

Hi Chris,

I'm sure I've seen your car there or one that looks exactly like it. I drive by the shop all the time. The picture I posted above was taken about a mile behind Redline's shop.

I stop off in Imperial often too...but for BBQ reasons. I buy a lot of my meat from Harrell's. My car also likes the O93 at the 66 there. Hope to see you around and join you in the 12 second club this year.

Gerry

I'm semi familiar with the roads behind Redline, Tim and I have done some tuning back there. Hmm, have never been to Harrells, they have good stuff?

My tech title is a bit off though, see sig

Ha ha...didn't see that. I'd need a driver mod to get there with my setup. If you go to the top of the hill and make the first left you will then snake around and end up at a water tower. It is right across the road from that. I thought it would be a cool place to take pics and saw the owners sitting out on their swing one day and asked their permission.

I like Harrell's because I like old time butcher shops and small stores. Joe and his gang are nice, and if you know how to pick a good steak, you can get a real nice strip or ribeye. If you ever go in there, the huge trophy on the meat case is mine. I can't cut a good 60, but I can BBQ
