Super Chevy event...

i have to say today was very cool.. there were alot of fast cars but the group of us only wanted to see Bob's Twin Turbo run.. Lou was the Driver and Bob was the crew team .. 4 runs all in the low 8's.. i think the best was 8.30 at 169mph .. Congrads Bob and Lou..

I saw Nordy and Wicked walking the other way in the pits when I first got there. I guess I should have asked them where the GN was pitted at. I ended up spending about an hour looking for it before finaly giving up. I did see the car go down the track though. Looked like it hooked up, stayed in the groove, and had a clean eight second pass. So Lou, How did it run? What did it 60'? I would have liked to have seen the GN run against that old Corvette Stingray funny car. I think it was running mid eights.

It was a fun day...

Congrats BOB and LOU, sorry I couldn't show. I was stuck at work, sounds like a great event. Someday I hope to see that GN run.

Thanks Nordy

Some great pictures,I was actually disappointed that the car didn't run quicker. A TT v/8 car that won't run at least into the seven's is an embarrassment in my opinion.Found out on the last pass that the trans was slipping. I'm trying to talk Bob into a rossler 400 but he's listening to others & wants to put a two speed glide into a very heavy chassis.

Yes Len! that's my old car, Bob the owner has forbidden any sheep stickers Or any endorsements from the American Nazi party. I'm rather devastated over this. But my sacrifices must continue as I have no other form of entertainment.

I bought an 03 TT Porsche & have no intention of working on it. I needed something a little slower to drive on Sundays than my Stage II Regal.

thats freaking too funny lou....you would shoot me in the face if I told you who else said that same exact thing! Your favorite buddy kevarld. Ask nordy, he said that in the stands when we were watching you before your 3rd run. Me and mike thought he was crazy and kept insisting low 8's is just as admirable as 7's. But nope, he said exactly what you just said, 8-11's are for bitches and only 7's are impressive hahahaha.

Anyways, I dont care what it takes, I would love to see you break your all time ET!

This is to much, i probably shouldn't have posted that but, its true and its freaking funny!

When we seeing an low eight out of a v6 lou? I gotta come check out your new porsche during my spring break the first week of april.
