Just wanted more info on these two cars One is a Brown 455 Regal Virgina plates... won the RM class back in '10 Trying to get info on his build and how he installed his stage II scoop. The other ride is from way back It was a Primered 78-79 Regal with a 455, then got painted gold, driven by a young colored guy, When I started building my and was at the GS Nats , hi and his posse always seem to stay at the same hotel. Spent lots of time talking to him and he pointed out stuff to do and lookout for when doing the swap. Did lots a video shooting back then, got a a lot on his ride, but no info....on the build. Now it's been awhile , for the life of me can't remember his name, and if he still runs that Buick. Thanks

I'm guessing your reffering to Mark from Chicago. I don't know about the young part lol. Anyway he still has car but it hasn't been ran in about 5yrs. He switched over to a 69 skylark.

He just got a computer .His heads are iron '70 big valve (786's) non-ported with a bowl clean up & port match.Compression's at 9.5. ---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ---------- Chris. There were 3 BBB regals at the G-Body Nats. Joe's (lost 2nd round). Rick Cline's (won 8.49 class) & me(won 6.99 class & was bracket class runner-up).
crouchmtrsports Did you get any pics of your 3 BBB Regals racing down there at TB.Com All G-Body Nats? Any of Rick Cline's ? Guess that name doesn't ring a bell. Man short of compression , big valves, cam ,and a carb... I should be competitive... :Brow:
bigdawg70 Yep ..Mark his name , I was out in the garage letting some of my ole VHS tapes roll when I came accross the section where I got Mark to open his hood, it was still in primer on the front and had a red hood, his posse was ribbing him hard bout his "just a Buck engine" comment. If ya catch up with him tell him I said hey. Thanks for chiming in on his name.
Tell Mark I said hi too. I have good memories of first meeting him in the staging lanes and then racing against him in the "inaugural" Regal Modified class race at BG in 2001.
