Default LTX SHOOTOUT Magazine Coverage in this months GMHTP!

I scanned the pages so you guys that have a hard time finding it in your area can see if your car made it. Out of the 50 or so cars that showed up to race there are nice snapshots of 21 of them in the magazine, not counting the other cars in the background of some of the shots. Justin did a very nice writeup on the event too! BTW there is a nice article on them swapping heads on project "Dirty Bird" which is there resident LT1 drag project.

Just a little FYI......

If you subscribe (like I just did) for $19.95 for 9 issues, you get all sorts of other offers for other GOOD car mags for next to nothing. I added a year of HOT ROD for an additional $10.00, and could have added several other magazines for the same price. So basically I got 21 magazines for $29.95. That's a crazy savings.

What a surprise for me! Thanks Joelster for posting this and a Great Thanks to Tony Shepard, He kept pushing me to get the car done even with all the problems I was having, at times I gave up and he kept giving me hope, I got the car semi race ready the night before I left for BG. Keep it up guys and now we all have time to get ready for the next one! (But we all know so well how that goes)..LTx FTW!!

He doesn't just have bolt-ons. He has a hot cam and a little help from Nitrous Outlet. He was running in the EX Street Power Adder Class. That is a bad *** car.

My bolt-on LT1 third gen runs 12's.
