PHR Muscle Car Of The Year 2013

[tflyboy77]

I got an invite for Popular Hot Rodding Magazine's Muscle Car Of The Year Competition.
Who else got invites. I'm betting the majority of the cars are members on here.

[BANKO]

How awesome, congrats. I hope you do well!

[tflyboy77]

I know Dan Ballard also made it with his nova. He's pretty stoked and ordering parts like crazy.

[Todd in Vancouver]

Very cool and good luck

Im not ordering, im working with ridetech on a few things. I have there parts and after a few event i sent them back, so they can check them out. They wanted my car last year but i just couldnt get it done in time. I just hope to finish all 3 events.

[tflyboy77]

Nice! I'm in the same boat as you then on finishing. Regardless it will be a ton of fun.

[csouth]

Congrats! This is the event that takes place the Monday after GG Columbus, correct?

[tflyboy77]

I believe so. July 15th which is a monday

[csouth]

Yeah, I saw the followup article in PHR. Seems the Roadster Shop C-10 would have won, but was not included because its a truck. I'll be looking for you rider at GG if you're there?

[tflyboy77]

That's a purpose built race car with a truck body. And I want one.

I want one too!... I'd rate Rob's No Limit C10 more as a race car. That thing just screams "Move Over!"....lol

[tflyboy77]

I heard a rumor that Eric Wracker and his Duster got an invite.

[Bad94]

I know of a blue vette from cincy thats going. I well be helping the owner put the new motor in. This car/driver is super fast.

[tflyboy77]

Very cool! Post up some pics and his name so we can all get to know him.

[71RS/SS396]

I'm pretty sure his last name is Popp and he told me Blue cars are faster! :naughty:

Corvette....Pinto... I don't think it much matters as long as he's behind the wheel!

LOL, I really wanted him to drive my car, a driver can only drive one car.

Im doing some track testing next weekend, he is going with me, I might put him in the car and see what he can do.

My new sponsor, PTFB (Pro-touringF-body.com) did his homework yesterday and landed me a deal with Viking shocks, which PTFB is a dealer for. I'm so excited to now be running Viking shocks on my Trans Am. I will be posting a thread about the install and setup in the coming weeks. Thanks Dave!

[Finch]

I will be dragging my junk to the event as well so should be interesting.

[71duster]

I heard a rumor that Eric Wracker and his Duster got an invite.

you are correct sir! we will be there,unless I blow the motor at the Faceoff! it is a neat event,i drove jon clark's valiant in it last year. looks like if Pop is going we are in trouble. I am already WAY out horsepowered! I just got my crap back together last week after the wreck.

Car looks good Eric! I'm sure you guys will have no trouble with me. I'm running half the tire you guys are! I'm just hoping for a good time and for the car to be in one piece at the end.

[71duster]

thanks! you guys will hand me my ass in the 1/4. I need another 100 hp! we just got back from optima and I still need some suspension tuning,not sure on my tires also. we will probably have the cheapest car there,so it's all good.

Not sure about cheapest car. Mine is built very cheap.

What kinda hp you think you make?

I like this!! Let's make it the PHR Bad Ass Budget Competition. Then I stand a fighting chance.

[71duster]

it is a 380 hp magnum 360. they dyno'd 400 hp in a couple different mags.

[cmraman]

See you all there!!

[kwesley]

I'll be there with my Satellite. Should be a good time.

[tflyboy77]

WOW!!! That was an awesome event. Felt like I ran the crap out of the car but it ran like a top all day. We managed to win 1st place in the speed stop challenge, 5th in drag racing and 7th in autocross. Overall I am ecstatic with how things turned out. As a nobody, just being able to even get invited to something like this event let alone place with the big boys is a huge accomplishment in my book. Thanks to all that helped and to everyone that stopped by the trailer just to say hi. It was awesome meeting everyone.

You kicked my ass all around. Im happy how the car did for having no seat time with the combo. Im just happy that the car is still in one peice after the event. We had some highs and very lows over the day.

[SparkyRnD]

there were great updates from PHR, looked like a crazy fun event

you done good brother! I was great meeting you guys. I was hoping to do better in the speed stop,but the M/T tires didn't like it. talked to them today,now i'm looking at tire options. I think everybody there had me out horsepowered by 100 hp or more! lol!

I enjoyed meeting you guys as well. My favorite Quote of the weekend was from you. "It ain't over till I load the trailer. I don't care if there timing me or not". Love it!!

hell yea! free auto-x runs! are you kidding?! I talked to M/T and gave them some feedback. they don't really have any other tires that will work for me (us) so I will be searching for tires.

Had a great time with all of the great people.. Had no problems with the car.. But it was hot.. Best part of the day was watching the Duster drifting around the autocross at the end of the day.. "Anger Management"

My car ran so well that my pit crew had a lot of time to take pictures.....So here you go. Please take the time to tag people and companies if you know them.
