Power Tour lessons learned

Who's pulley was that ?

[Steve Chryssos]

Gary from Louisiana. Bad ass red SLP 4th gen with painted Torq Thrust II's and big hood scoop. That pulley design is downright flimsy.

Steve, I took a video of your run at E-town. Let me know if you want me to send it to you. I also have one of the green 69 camaro with z06 wheels (didn't meet them) and the "sleeper" green 69 nova that did the 10.01 run on Friday. If anyone would host them for me I will send them.

that would be a Synister Motorsports Billet Power Steering Pulley and was on a 02 SS. It was put on right before the trip and made it about 1800 miles I guess.

Gary, how did you bend the wheels?? they look bad in the pics,

Thais is Steve from Franks friday night and most of Saturday

This is Tim..I'm the guy that was riding with Gary. But we bent the rims on a curb on the way to Hooters somewhere in Georga on day 3..or night 3. They were bad and what you can see there has actually been bent back in some. We too a rubber mallet to em to get the bend back over the beat of the tire alittle. They did hold air for the rest of the trip

Took the Belt Parkway. By far the most nerve-racking part of the entire trip--twice! Next time I'll go thru the city, dodge some potholes but only drive 35 mph.

Picture the nastiest, too-tall speed bump in your town and then drive over it at 60 mph in a lowered car full of fuel and luggage. That's what the Brooklyn section of the Belt Parkway is like--over and over and over.......BANG!! SCRAPE!! GRIND!!

Yer givin me the willies Steve-o.

I used to live in Sheepshead bay and had to take the stretch between there and Flatbush (only 2 exits) every morning to get to the Coast Guard Airstation (since closed, but the NYPD is still there) at Floyd Bennett Field. The Belt Parkway is the closest thing to a minefield this side of Cambodia.

Cool. Yeah Please send me the vid. Email me a phone number and we can talk about file transfer if it's too big to send. I want to piece it into a competition vid I'm putting together.

Yup. At least I had a chase vehicle for the ride home. I put all my luggage, supplies and even my co-pilot in the chase car (my wife met us in Harrisburg), then did the belt with a half tank. As soon as I hit the Long Island border, I let er rip to blow off some steam. Waved back at the chase car and said see ya! I was pissed. The conditions are downright negligent.
