Look at my Avatar Man -- Its a pic of the car taken in SEPT 1967! Todays car is a total re-creation of that car. Never have I gotten one adverse reaction from the name! Even yesterday at the show there were several black Olds enthusiasts that came by the car and liked it and laughed about it!! Political correctmess wasnt even a term in 1967!!

He had big balls but he drove it through Detroit one night .....the car is fast but he was a little slow on the throttle. That's akin to driving through an Indian Reservation singing "This land is my land, this land is your land...." Seriously though, great shots.

Great Shots Tweed!

For those that think it's far away, there was a guy there (with his car) from FL and cars from Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Tennessee that I know of.

If you can't bring your car, you should come. Support comes from even spectator attendance. Plus you get to meet people and establish friendhships, get help, etc.

I did manage to mak2 two passes and didnt break anything!! That old stock motor was more tired than i thought. Could only muster a 13.39 and a 13.50 out of it! Won 1st round and "fisheyed" the 2nd!! I thought it would maybe go 13.10s but the converter has to be junk --- only ray 98mph and went thru traps at 5400 rpm which means that conveter has to be slipping a bunch!! Wont run it again till i get new motor back in it!
Smitty had three of his motored cars in last 5 cars in the no-box class too!

You look German to me, I think there's more to this white power thing than you want to admit?

Those are good numbers for a stock tired 400, whats up with the new problematic engine? What is being done to it?
