BTR Bill is doing our Olds community proud, first place after 2 days. Dale Robinson did very well with his 307 engine. Congrats to both!!

Team # 18 - BTR Performance Bill Trovato, Steve Garraro, Earl Emery, Jim Clay Oldsmobile 400 Pull # Torque Horsepower 1 529 459.9 2 519 452.1 3 507 441.2 Avg. 518.3 451.1 Final Score - 2,423.5 @ 400 CI Taking pride in Oldsmobile Performance is the team from BTR Performance. The highly detailed Olds had a definite look of excellence in execution, and the team comes to the show with a reputation for knowing how to unlock the secret of Olds power. It was apparent from the dials on the DTS dyno during the warm-up pulls that this engine would put out a healthy performance, and the numbers didn't disappoint, with the score in qualifying being sufficient to capture the lead position.

Bill has helped me on occasion in the past. Before I found this website I spent all my time at ROP and he guided me in some selections when I built my first 455. I am glad to hear Oldsmobile being represented so well and that he was involved in it.

It probably won't last with Kaese (sp) and the other big boys coming up today, but still a great job considering the limited after market parts for us. And Dale did it with an iron head.
