    I took the car Sunday to Lapeer and got my final passes in for the year. The weather was beautiful and I got my first 9 second pass!

    Coming at you live from the birthplace of GM,Flint,Mi. Where your car is worth more than the property it's parked on.

      Any track you guys decide to go to will be an over nighter for me. Nothing close to the U.P. unless its Wisconsin. Sure would be fun to go next year, might have to start planning for it and get one of the Pontiacs ready. Looks like everything I have would be running BBNA or DD, unless I find a 400 block that can go with a standard bore and a 4" crank.

        Congrats 82! That's moving!

        Vince - GOOD LUCK - do what the docs say!
        My Dad has had both hips replaced, Mom one knee - take it slow at first, then be religiously devoted to the PT - you'll end up better than new. My wife blew out her ACL snow skiing - they had a machine on her leg moving the knee joint back and forth slowly with increasing range of motion every few days - it was so slow and quiet she could sleep with it on. Her knee was good as new in a couple months.

        Don't let that bad knee go too long Bill! Just like engines - joints tend not to fix themselves.
        There's always something new to learn.

            Great time there 82z. Many of us have triied to get to that single number for many years. Don't know how this winter pans out but I'll be triing to get the Bird done before Aug (the normal for me) Mr Norm (the angry Canadian) and I have been for years wanting to meet say like Lapeer on one night and do Grand Bend, Canada the other. Or visaversa. His car is far from done but closer than before. We.ll see what spring brings. Vince

              Vince Ulby in the thumb is setup better for something like that. Dennis that owns and runs the track is easy to work with. and it can be done on fri sat or sun. there a hotel in town and town is only a 1/2 mile away also camp grounds at the track
