Well, as expected, he left before anyone started pulling their car off the trailer. Thats the closest we've ever been to having any LT5 action at one of the shootouts
hahaha maybe we'll run into him again!

For the third time I will be there, Hopefully with my car. Im about 90% complete so all should be well. As the the last shoot out I will help as much as I can, If I have my car I probably wont be able to do as much help, You Guys ran me ragged at the last race but I was glad I could help out. Of course Tony is the main center of focus for me, and like last year, It will be at a no charge to anyone..Good Luck to all.

Looks quite similar to my 91...which we are putting an LT1 into and running in Street Stock this year. Not to worry though, it'll show up in one piece

No current pics of mine, its in alot of pieces right now. But its a 91 Z28, original L98/auto hardtop car. Red with grey cloth. Bought a complete low-mileage '97 LT1 for it. I'll get some pics when it starts coming together a little more.

Gonna get cracking on my Z against this weekend. It's 50/50 that I will have my Z down there this year, but if not, at least one of my bros will have their LT1 down there.
