Cool LS1 GTO vs H/C/Bolton/Geared Fox and Cam/Bolton/Geared/stalled LT1

Had a great time lastnight, guy with the Fox has some sick toys and called me out with this one. The rest are 10 second or less cars lol. I was so worked up about the wheel hop, thinking i had broke something, that i was not paying attention to the race, missing gears like a fool. The fox didnt let out the second race untill i caught him. Oh and LT1 sleeping on the line like a champ.

P.S. Finally getting this editing thing figured out lol

Jesus Christ man! That wheelhop in the 2nd race... Holy hell. The V1s are notorious for that crap too, but a little suspension work should sort a good percentage of that out.

Good runs.

If its anything like the V1 in suspension... you'll have to keep eyes on the cradle bushings, a trailing arm brace, and some axles.

Lol nice! I know what you mean with the wheel hop~!! I ended up going to a corn roast over one summer and spent the whole damn night looking under my car lol. Everyone there was looking under it and no one was at the fire Lmao! I was hearing a loud "thunk" sound everytime I went into reverse...turned out that while me and my buddy were "backroad racing" (stang vs T/A ) I got a rock lodged into the cross member lol. Thank god!!! Nice vid!!
