Just a heads up to those of you who'd like to see some GORGEOUS cars of all makes/models getting it on at the drag strip, as this weekend (June 14-15) is the Factory Stock Drags in Norwalk, OH. Should be a lot of fun, and there will be at least 2 COPO cars their as Pete and I are both planning on being there. For more info, go here:

Rob,
If you get a chance,let me know how Brad Rising's red '64 Gto run's.I think the Glasco's built the motor,but I'm sure it's not going to run as fast as there Pontiac's.It's tough to get much out of a stock 389.Maybe,low 13's?
I found the car locally sitting in the Orignal owners garage since 1973.It's a neat,and nicely optioned car for racing.
Thanks,Jim

Great shot --- looks like a Kodak moment of 60's muscle--picture should go in some kind of automotive time capsule [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Norwalk was interesting to say the least. Rob had new tires that were not broke in, so was having a bad time trying to hook. His pick up on his tranny fell of twice, so he got to do some wrenching. My converter bolts continually backed out, so I was tightening them up every other round. Had no new lock nuts or lock tite! Rob managed some low 13's, so he was a little disappointed. I managed a 12.14, once I finally got the car tuned in. Saturdays' weather was terrible, but Sunday was good. Norwalk had gotten 10 inched of rain in the last 13 days........ so the infield was a little damp!
