Re: Newbies Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome!

Thanks Steve!
I'm not sure I'll make it to Maxton this year, the work situation in Detroit is a little shaky right now. If I get laid off I'm going to pack up my stuff and do an extended road trip South, Maxton is high on the list. I've been keeping up on line. If one of my drag boats sells this year, LSR racing is the next endeavor for me. I picked up the idea a while back, saw the Doll / Fox / Christophersen car at a local show and yakked for a bit. I actually saw them again on the road west when they were headed to Bonneville. Looking forward to some great bench racing here!

Re: Newbies Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome!

Hi Steve Wenrich here in Annapolis Maryland. I have bin back here for the last 4 years and Bozeman Montana the 8 prior to that. The running car is a 1962 Newport 2 door. Not much in the way of mods, carb, intake, exhaust and some tork thrusts. I runs really great considering no 8 is dead. drove across country like that. Space pod dash makes up for every thing. The 67 lemans is a GTO rip off I picked up last year instead of building the 413 for the newport. Tore it completely appart and soda blasted the whole thing. Epoxy primed it and did some remedial body work. Its now dormant in the garage of shame until summer work season is over. The 69 blazer is built for the hills in Mt. Lots and lots of work done to it rebuilt 350, SM465,205, 14 bolt, and 44 8 lug front. Air lockers and 38 tsl's. Towed 10000 lbs across the country(7 mpg) Replaced the motor immediately afterward. It is currently sitting because of a wiring harness melt down. Money /time is the holdup. Are you asleep yet, you should be. thats my junk and my storey. I will post pictures when I become less inept.

Re: Newbies Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome!

I suppose it's time for me to introduce myself here.

Name is Brian O'Dell from Kansas City, MO.

Car is a 2000 Grand Prix GTP, "slightly" modded in all the right ways. Best ET is 12.97 @ 106 MPH

Basically just a BASTARDIZED ride, F-Body front brakes, Ported and Polished M90 from a 2006 GTP Running 3.2, 3.0 & soon 2.8-2.6 pulleys NON- Intercooled, XP Cammed, Devil's Own Methanol Injection setup, MSD DIS-4 system.

I've worked in GM Retail parts for the last 10 years, so I guess you can say I made a career out of it. Then I tinker on the W-body cars on the side, ya know...porting and polishing the superchargers, throttle bodies...etc. If you happened to notice my car on the Powertour, then you probably won't forget the blower! ;D





Thanks for looking!
