thanks man.... according to ppl i talked to in the crowd there was only like 3-4 cars pulling serious wheelies.....

one made it in to the 16 (yellow El Camino)... I saw a pass later on that the el camino made and yeah he was pulling tires like 2 feet but nothing outrageous.....

The other was a 70 camaro owned by a guy I know Artie Pavia... He's got wheelie bars but he sets em really high so he can hang the hoops... and he was doin some good ones....

i hope i make it on there.... i don't know how many cameras were taping but seeing as how it was the armdrop passes the stands were packed and i assume they have cameras taping everywhere...

good choice on the tranny man...i like the way you think..haha. ill either go the camaro with the lt1 way or do a fourth gen trans am with a built auto and a 400 pontiac motor crammed in the hole with the fuel injected system they make for it...i was actaully raised around gtos so...my dad has 3 69s and a 70..lol..one of the 69s is a true judge and the 70 is a gto judge convertable RAIII... look that up and see what its worth?? lol...it was inhereted to him by his father..he is in the process of restoring that after having it since 84 haha....about time huh?? lol.. when you have kids thats what you get so. but he loves his cars and i grew up around them and always tinkered around with him and then i got my first ride which was a 79 T/A 10th ann and i will never ever get rid of it as i inhereted that also from my grandfather and since then havent stopped loving the fbody...had 17 of them now and im 19..dont plan to ever stop owning them either..again though congrats

yeah no ****...get them higher than 5 grand and your fucked thats the only downfall to them but they make their power way before a chevy motor does so you have no reason to be getting them past 5 grand either...they are so torquey too...i love the torque they put out..def a fun motor
