Meant to post this here vice main board.
Aloha,
Thanks to Chris, I just found this forum. Just thought I'ld say hi and introduce myself. My name is Derrcik, Live in Aiea, and yes, I'm in the stinking Navy (still) but oh well, what ya gonna do... :S I have an 87 GN that I've put MANY MANY thousands of $$$$ into and made a metric butt-load of mistakes on. Right now the block and crank are at Snyder's Machine Shop getting some R&R (it was due back 2 weeks ago ) I used to live in upstate NY before coming here 3 years ago and helped to found NEBRA (New England Buick Racing Assoc.). But as far as the car, I'm just HOPING for that low 10 or high 9 second pass BEFORE the fastest street car comp. in Nov. And as long as those "SO CALLED" street cars that need a parachute to stop aren't there, I think I may have a slight chance. But that's about it I guess. I am living with my ex wife (LOOONNNNGGGGGG story) and my daughters. But maybe this time I'll get her out in the garage with me and the car won't cause another divorce...
Hope to see some of you at these upcoming gatherings. I live about 1/2 mile from that park that was mentioned on Kam. by BK for the V6 racing assoc. meeting.
Aloha,
Derrick
