Way to spank that mustangs A** S! Good showing for a 400# plus Buick against more cubes and less weight. Great job!

Thank you! We both lost traction actually, I was headed for the wall 100ft out, pedaled just slightly & got it back in the groove. He got loose shortly after & didn't recover as well. It doesn't look bad in the vid but actually was quite a ride.

Awesome pass!!!:biggrin:

#5 qualifier for Team Buick

Not only can he build engines, he can sure pilot these cars as well

It's always fun watching John run his car, with working A/C and heat, at the track. Most of the time I hear a loud V8 trying to keep up with this silent, yet killer GN.

I know I was jumping up and down when John won this race...way to go John !

Brian

Thanks Brian, the track wasn't spectacular, I've got a 1.35 60ft here at home & our track wasn't the greatest either.

I can absolutely build you a motor if you need one!

No rush on the tranny-He is using the one I had here, but we do need the converter asap so Jim can get a little more racing in this year.

Also, I can't remember if I asked, but can you swap that brf for a cz valvebody? Jim's tranny will be mine now-we are just trading to get him back up & running.

Thank you
