No, His is going in a old school customized 54 Ford W/ air ride suspension that will lay frame! He's working on it now, possibly driving it by the end of this next summer....it's a whole different world!

No, I sold my 18" wheels & stopped work on it after I sandblasted the entire bottom of the car, & d.a.ed the body. No rust any where! I think I'm going to sell the LT1 & wiring harness & tranz I have for it, I'll keep the 9" I have thou..... Probably work on Eric's 54 some & put a new 455 Pontiac engine & 200 4r in my wifes' 55 Pontiac Safari so she can get back to driving it.... I've got a quote coming for a new moly cage in my 59 Corvette, but haven't heard back from him yet. Eric thinks it needs to be assembled & add a 250hp shot!
Most likely just try to stay warm this winter & NOT get **** done!...Happy Holidays to all!!!!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I have the trans, rearend and suspension. Notes I just need a new power plant. I can't decide wether to build a nitrous engine or a procharger setup

LS1 Trans Am t-boned in Greene County today. Two occupants of the TA were killed, as well as the driver of the truck. Prayers out to friends and family of the victims.

It happened up by my home town. Only recognized one last name but did not know the individual. I haven't heard anything else on it though.

Hey everyone just joined the site and happened to stumble upon this thread.

The names Jesse Pitts so if anyone on here is a regular to Eddyville Raceway or anything you may know who I or my dad(Paul Pitts) is.

I've been at Eddyville for practically my entire life(last year was the first year since I have been born that I never made it to the track once) and I drive a black '97 Z28. I told myself I wouldn't race down there again until I could run against my dad in "Pro" so sticking to that. Maybe this next year i'll actually be able to bring it down some Friday and see how close I am to reaching that.

Anyways just wanted to say Hey!
