  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    I was fortunate enough to witness a handful of dyno pulls. The engine sounds like it loves 8500+.

    The whole car/combo are well executed and the 1.10 60ft is most impressive! Especially considering that's on bias ply slicks with no beadlocks.

    Thanks for putting this up Gary. I had not seen any action photos after the race.

    Think I was so dumbfounded that Milan had a pay office! and I was collecting from them! I forgot to run down Dave and see what he had captured.

    As a update, the car has run 8.06 @ 165 this was backed up at another race. Doing the math for the weight of the car that puts the motor at 1112HP for the track dyno. Motor also made more power after 2ed build that was not reported here.

    That's a Badass combo,front to back,to to bottom.

    It would be nice if Buick made something Camaro-like with some aero advantage. That would be 7s at 170
