Hey everybody. I have been on the site for a little bit but have not really posted.

Back in November I went to a local Autocross with a member on here, forum name sicmonte. I went for a ride and that is what really planted the seed and now I am definitely hooked.

I have a 69 Camaro which is currently setup for drag racing. The car has been sitting for about a year and a half because it was buried in the garage due to my dads house being remodeled. But recently we cleaned up the garage and have pulled the car out. The car is pretty much done the way it sits but needs a few more things. Now that it is out and running again, I am anxious to really get it going so I can enjoy it. I am hoping to make some changes to get into the pro-touring style, I have always liked it, but drag racing was just what I was always around and part of. For now I am just going to enjoy the car the way it is and slowly change things as I can, which is probably going to take some time because I just bought a house.

Anyway, enough with the boring intro. Here is a pic and a short video of it running. I also put in a couple pics of my dads car as well.
Thanks

Here is a link to the video, not sure how to imbed it right now:

Do you plan on going? If so, maybe I can try and run my GTI. That is my birthday, so it could be a good present to myself lol.
