My car is out of commision until I get the turbo fixed. I may be there watching though. Do you go there often? What is your setup & what's your name? If your there I could take a look at that brake light problem if its not fixed yet. Once I get a turbo back in place I am always at either MAM or KCIR on fridays & sometimes saturdays. KCIR is a much better track if you put down any power.

If you guys ever run up to scribner, and be it a sunday, let me know, probably go too, might not be with my car though, really been wanting to start on "cosmetics". We should all meet up sometime though. Never see these cars around sioux city so it would be nice to go somewhere where there are some.

Scribner closed for good nov 2005. The closest 1/4 mile track is now kansas city or topeka. Mam is an 1/8 mile track.

Did you run at the Ponitac Nationals at MAM??? Brake light is fixed...Now working on the Light for the colum shifter...it went out and I believe that the previous owner wired the oil and water gagues to it because they are out too.

Just joined the site.Also from Omaha.I've had several G-body's in the past.I just picked up a 87 GN that the interior was gutted.I plan on pulling motor/trans and rear and transplanting it into a Regal.Someone already started pulling wires and vac lines,so this could be a fun puzzle. Jay
