Thanks for the ride on Saturday. The car felt great going around the track. That small block was screaming (maybe for mercy!!! ;) ) in the little straight stretch.............!

What a weekend at RTTH's. Nice weather, car was running pretty good, other then a little smoke out of the pass side bank. Dont know if the little 355 likes the 7000 RPM's, that i was spinning it to.
Friday was the auto x school, and i got about 25 runs and my brother hot laped the car for about 10 more laps. Never let us down. Danny, Todd, and Brian set up a kick ass track. Had a few tricky parts, but a ton of fun.
Saturday was a whole different story, track got alot bigger, and faster. Got 6 runs in right away and then Bret let me take the front wheels and tires of the 48 hour camaro and put them on my car to see if a 275 up front would help. And WOW a 18x10 with a 275 was on the front of my car. Thanks again Bret. The car had so much forward bit in the corner if made the back end feel like it was on skates. But i went 2 seconds faster. So the Tru turn and coil overs are working VERY well.
Few pics, when out on track. All with the 275 up front.
I also want to say thank you to Bill,his wife and daughter, Yancy, Bret(ridetech),Kyle and Stacy(DSE), Baer Brakes, Albert and Linda and all of the other sponsers. Had a blast.1972 Nova Ridetech, Forgeline, Falken Tires, Wilwood, Bowler Performance Transmission, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.

Well, Indy Goodguys and RTTH's did the headers and engine in. In Indy they have about every street messed up, and i was draging the headers and sometimes bellhousing. Then at RTTH's when i would slam on the brakes hard the front end would dive down and drag the headers(that was fixed buy saturday of RTTH's).
And now on to the motor, i dont think that spark plugs should look like this.
I have been talking to a few engine builders about a new motor. And no im not doing a LS.1972 Nova Ridetech, Forgeline, Falken Tires, Wilwood, Bowler Performance Transmission, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
